Product Information
Full details
This 12-piece Neilsen screwdriver set (MPN: CT0710) is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a versatile collection of essential screwdrivers for various tasks. Its key benefit lies in the inclusion of both Flat/Slotted and Phillips head screwdrivers in a wide range of sizes, plus the ability to apply extra torque with a spanner. A potential caveat is that while durable, they are standard tools and may not be suited for extremely heavy-duty or specialized applications.

FAQs
What types of screws can I use this set with?
This set is designed for standard slotted (Flathead) and Phillips head screws. It includes a wide range of sizes for common applications.
How do I use the pound-through feature?
The pound-through design means the screwdriver shaft extends through the handle. You can place a spanner or socket wrench onto the exposed end of the shaft to apply extra turning force to stubborn screws.
Are the tips strong enough for heavy-duty tasks?
The set is suitable for general DIY and professional tasks. For extremely heavy-duty or industrial applications requiring very high torque or specialized bits, heavy-duty or impact-rated screwdrivers might be more appropriate.
How should I clean the magnetic tips?
Wipe the magnetic tips with a clean cloth after use. If they attract metal shavings, a slightly damp cloth or a strong magnet can help remove them. Avoid prolonged exposure to liquids or extreme heat.
What are the sizes of the Flat/Slotted screwdrivers included?
The set includes Flat/Slotted screwdrivers in sizes: 3.2 x 38mm, 3.2 x 75mm, 5 x 75mm, 6 x 38mm, 6 x 100mm, 8 x 150mm, and 9.5 x 200mm.
What are the sizes of the Phillips screwdrivers included?
The set includes Phillips screwdrivers in sizes: Ph0 x 75mm, Ph1 x 75mm, Ph2 x 38mm, Ph2 x 100mm, Ph3 x 150mm, and Ph4 x 200mm.
Can these screwdrivers be used with an impact driver?
No, these are manual screwdrivers and are not designed for use with power impact drivers. Using them with an impact driver will likely cause damage.
Troubleshooting
Screwdriver tip is damaged or worn
Inspect the tip for damage. If slightly deformed, it might be possible to carefully reshape it with a file. For significant damage, the screwdriver should be replaced.
Magnetic tip loses magnetism
Clean the tip thoroughly to remove any metal dust or debris. Prolonged exposure to heat or strong opposing magnetic fields can weaken magnetism over time, potentially requiring replacement.
Handle feels loose or spins
Ensure the shaft is properly seated through the handle. If the handle is damaged or spinning freely, the screwdriver should be retired from use for safety reasons.
Difficulty applying extra torque with a spanner
Ensure the correct size spanner or socket is used that fits snugly onto the hexagonal end of the screwdriver shaft. Verify the screw head is not stripped, which would prevent proper engagement.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Ergonomic grips enhance comfort and control.
- Pound-through design allows for extra torque application.
- Suitable for both home and professional use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required for this screwdriver set; it is ready for immediate use out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This set is compatible with standard slotted and Phillips head screws. The pound-through design allows for compatibility with standard metric or imperial spanners/sockets for added torque, depending on the shaft's hexagonal section.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the screwdrivers clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, grease, or metal shavings. Pay special attention to cleaning the magnetic tips.
- Storage: Store the screwdrivers in a dry place, ideally in a tool roll, case, or dedicated toolbox to prevent rust and protect the tips.
- Avoid Misuse: Do not use screwdrivers as pry bars or chisels, as this can damage the tips and compromise their effectiveness.
- Torque Limitation: While the pound-through design allows for extra torque, be mindful not to overtighten fasteners beyond their intended specifications, which could strip the screw head or damage the workpiece.
