How should I clean the screwdrivers?

What material are the screwdriver shanks made of?

The product information does not specify a dedicated storage case, but it is recommended to store them in a tool organizer or toolbox to prevent loss and damage.
Troubleshooting
Screw slips off the magnetic tip.
Ensure the screw head and the screwdriver tip are clean and dry. For some screws, the magnetic hold might be weaker; try applying slight pressure during insertion.
Difficulty identifying the correct bit size.
Wipe the handle clean to ensure the bit identifier markings are visible. Compare the screw head directly with the tip of each screwdriver to confirm the size.
Handle feels uncomfortable during use.
Adjust your grip to utilize the ergonomic contours of the handle. Ensure your hand is positioned to take advantage of the anti-slip texture.
Screwdriver shows signs of rust.
Clean the affected area with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, then wipe with a light coating of oil to protect the metal. Store in a dry place.
