FAQs
Where are these screwdrivers manufactured?
The Facom Protwist AT.5PB set is manufactured in France.
Can I use these with an impact driver?
No, these are professional-grade manual screwdrivers and should not be used with power tools or impact drivers.
What does the inline hardening process do?
It is a heat treatment process that doubles the strength of the bar and significantly extends the service life of the tip.
Are the handles resistant to brake cleaner?
Yes, the handles are designed to be resistant to most common workshop chemicals, including oils and solvents.
How do I identify the Phillips screwdrivers quickly?
The handle ends are color-coded, allowing for quick visual identification of the tip type and size.
Are replacement tips available?
No, these screwdrivers feature fixed bars. If a tip is damaged due to misuse, the entire unit should be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Tip slipping on screw head
Verify that the screwdriver size perfectly matches the fastener type and that no debris is inside the screw drive.
Handle becomes slippery from oil
Wipe the handle with a shop towel using a non-aggressive degreaser to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This screwdriver set requires no assembly and is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain the integrity of the CNC-machined tips, avoid using these screwdrivers as pry bars or chisels, as excessive lateral stress can compromise the hardened steel. After use in particularly dirty or oily conditions, wipe the bars and handles with a clean, dry rag. While the finish is highly resistant to corrosion, applying a thin layer of light machine oil periodically can further protect the shafts from harsh environmental conditions.
