FAQs

What type of screws are these screwdrivers for?

These screwdrivers are specifically designed for Tx-Star® (Tamper-Resistant Torx) screws. They are not compatible with standard Torx, Phillips, or Pozidriv screws.

How do I clean the screwdrivers?

Clean the blades and handles with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or the grip.

Can I use a spanner with all the screwdrivers in this set?

No, the hex bolster for using a spanner is only present on the larger sizes in this set (typically T20 and T25) to provide extra torque when needed.

What are the sizes included in this 6-piece set?

This set includes 6 x 100mm Draper TX-STAR hard grip screwdrivers in sizes T10, T15, T20, and T25. Note that some sizes may be duplicated to provide different handle types or lengths if applicable, but the core sizes are T10, T15, T20, T25.

Are the blades made of a strong material?

Yes, the blades are made from hardened chrome vanadium steel, which is known for its strength and durability.

Does this set come with a case?

This specific 6-piece set does not typically include a dedicated storage case. However, each screwdriver has an integrated hang hole for convenient storage.

How do the magnetic tips help?

The magnetic tips help to hold the screw securely onto the screwdriver, making it easier to start a screw in awkward positions and reducing the chance of dropping it.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver tip slipping in screw head

Ensure you are using the correct Tx-Star size for the screw. Check if the screw head or screwdriver tip is damaged or worn. Clean both the screw head and tip to remove debris. Apply firm, consistent pressure and ensure the screwdriver is fully seated.

Difficulty applying sufficient torque

For larger sizes (T20, T25), use a spanner on the hex bolster to increase leverage. Ensure the screwdriver is properly engaged in the screw head to avoid stripping.

Magnetic tip loses strength

Ensure the tip is clean and free from metal shavings. Strong magnets can lose some magnetism over time, but this is rare. The magnetic tip is designed to hold screws securely for assembly, not for lifting heavy objects.

Handle feels slippery

Wipe the handle with a damp cloth to remove oil or grease. The high-impact resistant plastic is designed for grip, but contamination can affect its texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with hardened chrome vanadium steel.
  • Magnetic tips simplify screw handling and improve precision.
  • Ergonomic and chemical-resistant handles offer a comfortable and secure grip.
  • Hex bolster on larger sizes allows for increased torque application.
  • Designed to prevent rolling, enhancing workshop safety and organization.

Cons

  • Set contains a specific range of 6 popular sizes; may not include all necessary sizes for every job.
  • Tx-Star tips are specific; not compatible with standard Phillips or Pozidriv screws.
  • While durable, plastic handles may be susceptible to damage from extreme impacts.
  • No dedicated storage case included in this set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This screwdriver set requires no setup. The tools are ready for immediate use upon unboxing.

Compatibility: These screwdrivers are designed for Tx-Star® (Torx Security/Tamper-Resistant Torx) screws. They are not compatible with standard Phillips, Pozidriv, or other screw head types.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the blades and handles with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plating or plastic.
  2. Storage: Store the screwdrivers in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Utilize the integrated hang holes for wall-mounted storage or keep them in a toolbox.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the tips for wear or damage. If a tip becomes damaged, it may compromise screw engagement and should be replaced.
