Product Information

Full details

The Draper TX-STAR Soft Grip Screwdriver Set (4 Piece) is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals who require precise T-handle screwdriver functionality for Torx fasteners. Its key benefit is the comfortable, non-slip grip combined with durable, hardened steel blades for reliable performance.

FAQs

What does TX-STAR mean?

TX-STAR is Draper's branding for their range of tools compatible with the Torx fixing system. Torx is a registered trademark of Acument Intellectual Properties LLC.

What sizes are included in the 4-piece set?

The set includes four Draper TX-STAR screwdrivers with sizes T10, T15, T20, and T25.

Can I use these on Phillips head screws?

No, these screwdrivers are specifically designed for Torx fasteners and will not work correctly or safely on Phillips head screws.

How do I clean the screwdrivers?

Clean the blades with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure they are dry before storing. The soft grip handles can be wiped with a damp cloth and dried.

What is the material of the screwdriver blades?

The blades are made from chrome vanadium steel, which is hardened and tempered for durability.

Are these screwdrivers magnetic?

The product description does not specify if the blades are magnetic. However, the satin chrome plated finish and sand blasted tips are standard for grip and durability.

What is the warranty on this set?

Warranty information is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or Draper Tools for specific warranty terms.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver tip slips out of Torx screw head

Ensure you are using the correct size screwdriver for the screw. Verify the screw head is clean and free from debris. Apply firm, consistent downward pressure while turning.

Difficulty turning a Torx screw

Check that the screwdriver size is correct and the tip is fully seated. Ensure the screw is not cross-threaded or overtightened. Clean the screw head and tip.

Handle feels slippery

Wipe the soft grip handle with a clean, dry cloth. If the handle is wet or greasy, it may reduce grip; clean and dry thoroughly before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable and secure grip for extended use.
  • Hardened chrome vanadium steel blades ensure durability.
  • Satin chrome finish offers good corrosion resistance.
  • Precision tips minimize fastener damage.
  • Specifically designed for reliable Torx fastener engagement.

Cons

  • Limited to Torx (TX-STAR) fixings only.
  • Not suitable for standard slotted or Phillips screws.
  • Set size is fixed at four pieces, may not cover all needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. The screwdrivers are ready for immediate use out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This set is specifically designed to be compatible with Torx fixing systems. Torx is the registered trademark of Acument Intellectual Properties LLC. These drivers are *not* suitable for standard slotted, Phillips, or Pozidriv screws.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Clean the blades after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove debris.
  2. Store the screwdrivers in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the satin chrome finish.
  3. Avoid using excessive force or applying the screwdrivers to non-Torx fasteners, as this can damage the tips and the fastener.
  4. Periodically inspect the tips for any signs of wear or damage.
