FAQs

What does the 'AEX.7X35' model number signify?

The 'AEX' typically denotes the Micro Tech Precision series by Facom, '7' refers to the T7 Torx tip size, and '35' indicates the blade length in millimeters.

What is the primary benefit of using a precision screwdriver like this?

Precision screwdrivers offer a perfectly matched tip to the screw head, ensuring better grip, reducing the risk of cam-out (slipping), and preventing damage to both the screw and the workpiece, which is crucial for delicate electronics and small components.

Can this screwdriver be used for Phillips head screws?

No, this screwdriver is specifically designed for Torx screws with a T7 size. It cannot be used with Phillips or other types of screw heads.

What is the difference between this screwdriver and a standard Torx screwdriver?

Precision screwdrivers like this one have a much tighter tolerance between the tip and the screw head, a smaller overall size, and are designed for low-torque, delicate applications. Standard screwdrivers are generally larger and built for higher torque.

How do I know if my screw is a T7 Torx size?

Visually compare the screw head to diagrams of Torx sizes. A T7 screw head has a specific star-shaped pattern with six points. The diameter of the inner 'star' is typically around 2.7mm for a T7 size. Using a caliper can also help determine the exact measurement.

What is the warranty period for Facom tools?

Facom generally offers a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects on their hand tools. However, it's recommended to check the specific warranty terms provided by the retailer or Facom for the most accurate information.

Is this screwdriver magnetized?

The product description does not explicitly state if the tip is magnetized. While many precision screwdrivers are, it's best to assume it is not unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer or retailer.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver slips out of the screw head

Ensure you are using the correct Torx size (T7) for the screw. Check that the screw head is clean and undamaged. Apply firm, direct pressure while turning.

Difficulty turning a tight screw

Apply steady, controlled force. If the screw is exceptionally tight or seized, consider using a drop of penetrating oil (if appropriate for the material) and allow it to work before attempting to unscrew again. Ensure the tip is fully seated in the screw head.

Tip appears worn or damaged

If the tip shows signs of significant wear or damage, it should be replaced. Continued use with a damaged tip can strip the screw head. This model is designed for precision, and a worn tip compromises its effectiveness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent precision for delicate tasks.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Ergonomic handle provides a comfortable and secure grip.
  • Hardened tip resists wear and cam-out.
  • Compact size is suitable for tight workspaces.

Cons

  • Not suitable for general or heavy-duty screwing.
  • Specific Torx size (T7) limits its application range.
  • May be more expensive than non-precision screwdrivers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. The screwdriver is ready for immediate use upon purchase.

Compatibility: This screwdriver is specifically designed for T7 Torx screws. Ensure the screw head matches this specification before use. It is not compatible with other screw types (e.g., Phillips, flathead) or other Torx sizes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the blade and handle clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry environment, preferably in a tool organizer or pouch to protect the tip from damage and prevent loss.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the tip for any signs of wear or damage. If the tip is compromised, replace the screwdriver to avoid damaging screw heads.
