Product Information
Full details
The Facom 4x90mm Slotted Screwdriver is designed for professional mechanics and woodworkers who require a heavy-duty tool capable of handling both precision fastening and mechanical stress. Its standout benefit is the through-blade design that allows for impact use, significantly helping to break loose seized or rusted fasteners. However, users should note that as a manual tool with a wooden handle and specialized shock-absorbing features, it requires periodic maintenance to preserve the integrity of the wood and the polished finish compared to modern plastic-handled alternatives.

FAQs
Can I use a hammer on this screwdriver?
Yes, it is designed for gentle impacts thanks to the through-blade construction and leather end-pad.
What is the hexagonal bolster for?
The bolster allows you to attach a wrench to the shaft, giving you extra leverage to turn rusted or tight fasteners.
How do I protect the wooden handle?
Keep it away from extreme moisture and avoid using aggressive chemical cleaners. A light wipe-down is usually sufficient.
Is this screwdriver insulated for electrical work?
No, this is a standard professional tool and does not provide certified electrical insulation.
What is the blade size?
The blade width is 4mm and the length is 90mm.
Troubleshooting
Blade slipping out of screw head
Verify that the fastener slot width is exactly 4mm. If the slot is damaged or smaller, the tool will not seat correctly.
Blade rotating inside the handle
Inspect the handle for cracks. The winged shank should prevent rotation, so any movement suggests structural failure in the wood handle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-impact resistance due to through-blade design
- Extra torque capacity via the hexagonal bolster
- Ergonomic and durable traditional wooden handle
- Excellent corrosion resistance from chrome finish
Cons
- Wooden handle requires more care than synthetic grips
- Not suitable for heavy-duty electrical work without proper insulation
- Requires manual maintenance of the leather end-pad
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This screwdriver requires no assembly. For compatibility, ensure your screw head matches the 4mm slotted width to prevent slipping. To maintain the tool:
- Wipe the blade clean with a dry cloth after use to maintain the chrome coating.
- Store in a dry environment to keep the wooden handle from swelling or splitting.
- Periodically inspect the leather end-pad; if it becomes heavily frayed or damaged, avoid heavy impact use until the cushioning is addressed.
- Avoid exposing the wooden handle to harsh chemical solvents that may degrade the wood fibers.
