FAQs

What material is the screwdriver shaft made from?

The shaft is made from a robust chrome vanadium steel bar.

How does the magnetic tip work?

The tip has a permanently magnetized end that attracts and holds small screws securely, making them easier to position and preventing drops.

Can this screwdriver be used for Phillips head screws?

No, this is a slotted parallel screwdriver and is only designed for screws with a single slot. It is not compatible with Phillips, Pozidriv, or Torx screws.

What is the purpose of the tethering eyelet?

The tethering eyelet is a reinforced hole at the end of the handle used to attach a safety tether, preventing the tool from falling when working at height.

How do I identify the size of this screwdriver quickly?

The handle is color-coded, and the size (250mm x 6.5mm) is also often marked on the tool, allowing for easy identification among other screwdrivers.

Is the handle comfortable for long periods of use?

Yes, the handle is ergonomically designed with a soft grip moulded directly to the shaft for maximum strength, comfort, and control during extended use.

What maintenance is required for this screwdriver?

Wipe clean after use, store in a dry place, and periodically check the tip for wear. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver tip feels loose or wobbles.

Inspect the handle-moulded connection to the shaft. If significant looseness is present, the screwdriver may be compromised and should be replaced for safety.

Magnetic tip has lost its magnetism.

The magnetism is inherent to the material and designed to last. If it appears weak, ensure the tip is clean of debris. Permanent magnets do not typically 'wear out' significantly.

Handle feels slippery.

Ensure your hands and the handle are clean and dry. The soft-grip material is designed for enhanced grip, but contamination can reduce its effectiveness.

Screwdriver cam-outs frequently.

Verify that the 6.5mm tip width is the correct match for the screw slot. Ensure the screwdriver is inserted fully into the slot before applying torque. Excessive force can also lead to cam-out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This screwdriver requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon purchase.

Compatibility: The 6.5mm slotted tip is designed for screws with a corresponding slot width. It is compatible with standard slotted head screws. Always ensure the tip size and type match the screw for optimal performance and to prevent damage.

Care: To maintain its performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the shaft and tip clean after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the handle material.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry environment. If stored in a toolbox, protect the tip from impact.
  3. Inspection: Periodically check the tip for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the handle remains securely attached to the shaft.
