FAQs
What is the difference between parallel and flared slotted screwdrivers?
Parallel slotted tips have sides that run straight, which is ideal for working in deep, recessed holes. Flared tips have a wider base that offers extra strength for surface-level fasteners.
Does this set include a storage rack?
No, the set does not include a dedicated rack or carrying case. It is recommended to store these in a standard toolbox or on a wall-mounted tool board.
Are these screwdrivers insulated for electrical work?
No, these tools are not VDE rated for live electrical work. Do not use them on energized electrical circuits.
What material are the tips made from?
The blades are made from high-quality steel with a sand-blasted finish on the tip to maximize grip.
Can I use these for hammering?
No, these screwdrivers are not intended to be used as chisels or prying tools. Misuse may result in handle or tip damage.
What sizes are included in the set?
The set includes 3x50mm, 4x100mm, 5.5x125mm, 6.5x150mm, 8x175mm slotted drivers, and PH0x75mm, PH1x100mm, and PH2x125mm Phillips drivers.
Troubleshooting
Tip slipping out of the screw head
Verify that you are using the correct size and type of screwdriver for the fastener. Ensure the tip is seated fully into the screw slot.
Handle becomes slippery from oil
Clean the handle with a degreasing agent or mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth to restore the ergonomic grip.
Surface rust appearing on the blade
Use a light abrasive pad to remove surface oxidation and then apply a thin layer of machine oil to protect the chrome finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This set does not require any specific setup; the tools are ready to use out of the packaging. Regarding compatibility, ensure you select the correct head size for your fastener to avoid damaging the tool tip or the screw head itself. For ongoing care, wipe the blades with a dry cloth after use, especially if they have been exposed to moisture or corrosive chemicals. While the chrome plating is robust, store the screwdrivers in a dry place to prevent surface oxidation. If the handle becomes soiled with oil or grease, clean with a mild soap solution and ensure it is fully dried before use to maintain a secure grip.
