The Expert By Facom E165476 5.5 x 125mm slotted screwdriver is a precision-engineered manual tool designed for professional mechanics, electricians, and serious DIY enthusiasts who require reliable torque and secure engagement. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-quality chrome vanadium steel blade and a sand-blasted tip, which significantly reduces slippage during demanding fastening tasks. One caveat to keep in mind is that this tool features a parallel tip profile, which is specifically optimized for deep-set or recessed screws rather than flared-tip applications.

A parallel tip has straight sides that do not taper, making it ideal for screws with deep, narrow slots. A flared tip tapers toward the end, which is better for traditional wide-slot screws.
No, this is a standard mechanical screwdriver and is not rated for live electrical work.
No, using a screwdriver for prying can bend the shaft or snap the tip. Always use the appropriate tool for leverage.
The Expert By Facom series uses a specific red handle color code for identification, and the size (5.5 x 125mm) is typically laser-etched on the shaft.
Yes, it complies with ISO 2380-1 and ISO 2380-2 standards.
Verify that the screw slot is indeed a parallel style. If the slot is flared, ensure you are using the correct screwdriver size, or check if the screw head is damaged.
Cease use immediately. While rare, if the handle-to-blade connection compromises safety, the tool should be replaced.
Clean the blade with a light abrasive pad and apply a thin layer of machine oil to protect the chrome-plated finish.
No assembly is required for this tool; it is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. Ensure that you are using this screwdriver only on screws that match the 5.5mm parallel slot width to prevent damage to the blade tip or the fastener. To maintain the integrity of the chrome-plated finish and the precision of the tip, store the tool in a dry environment to avoid corrosion. Regularly wipe the blade clean of oil or debris to maintain optimal grip. If the tip eventually becomes worn, avoid filing it down, as this may compromise the hardened steel tempering and the ISO compliance of the tool.
