Product Information

Full details

The ASDA 10-in-1 Flexi-Ratchet Screwdriver is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals tackling tasks in tight or awkward spaces.

FAQs

What types of bits are included with this screwdriver?

The ASDA 10-in-1 Flexi-Ratchet Screwdriver includes 10 bits: Slotted (3mm, 5mm, 6mm), Pozidriv (PZ2, PZ3), and Phillips (PH0, PH1, 2x PH2, PH3).

Can I use other screwdriver bits with this tool?

Yes, the 1/4" magnetic bit holder is designed to accept any standard 1/4" hex shank screwdriver bits.

How do I change the direction of the ratchet?

There is an adjustment switch integrated into the handle that allows you to easily switch between forward (tightening) and reverse (loosening) actions.

What is the maximum angle the flexi-head can swivel?

The flexi-head can swivel through 180 degrees, allowing for a wide range of angles to access difficult spots.

How are the extra bits stored?

The screwdriver features a soft-action magazine located within the handle, which opens via a catch switch to store the 10 included bits.

Is this tool suitable for very high torque applications?

While the ratchet mechanism is robust for its size, this tool is best suited for general DIY and moderate torque applications. For heavy-duty or extreme torque tasks, a dedicated impact driver or larger torque wrench would be more appropriate.

How do I clean and maintain the screwdriver?

Wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth after use and store it in a dry place. Avoid exposure to moisture to prevent rust on metal components.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver bit keeps falling out

Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the magnetic holder. Check if the magnet is clean and free from debris. For persistent issues, consider using a bit with a retaining groove if compatible.

Ratchet not engaging or slipping

Check that the direction switch is fully engaged in the desired position (forward or reverse). Ensure no debris is obstructing the ratchet mechanism. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require servicing.

Flexi-head feels loose or won't lock

Ensure the head is rotated fully to engage the locking detents. Clean any debris from the swivel joint. If it remains loose, it may indicate wear and require replacement.

Bit magazine is difficult to open

Press the catch switch firmly and try gently wiggling the magazine. Ensure there is no debris lodged in the catch mechanism. If it's stiff, a small application of lubricant might help, but avoid over-lubrication.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  3. Engage Ratchet: Ensure the ratchet is set to the desired direction (forward for tightening, reverse for loosening) using the integrated adjustment.
  4. Adjust Head Angle: If needed, manually swivel the flexi-head to the required angle. The head locks into position.

Compatibility:

Care:
