FAQs

What makes this screwdriver 'non-sparking'?

It is manufactured from Beryllium Copper, a material that does not produce sparks when struck or scraped, unlike regular steel tools. This is crucial for safety in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Is this screwdriver suitable for everyday home use?

While it is a durable tool, its primary design and benefit are for specialized environments where non-sparking is a requirement. For general home use, standard screwdrivers may be sufficient and more cost-effective.

What is the guarantee on this product?

The product comes with a lifetime guarantee. Please refer to the manufacturer's specific warranty terms for details and exclusions.

How should I clean the Beryllium Copper tip?

Wipe the tip clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch or damage the surface. For stubborn residue, use a mild cleaning agent and dry thoroughly.

Can this screwdriver be used for prying or chiseling?

This screwdriver is designed for driving screws. Using it for prying or chiseling can damage the tip and the material, and may compromise its non-sparking properties. It is recommended to use tools specifically designed for those tasks.

What is the size of the slotted tip?

The slotted tip is 8mm wide and the shaft length is 200mm.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver tip is damaged or worn

Inspect the tip regularly. If significantly worn or damaged, replacement is recommended as performance and safety may be compromised. Note that this tool is designed for specific applications and heavy-duty prying may cause damage.

Handle grip is slippery

Ensure the handle is clean and dry. If the grip material itself is degrading, it may be time to consider a replacement.

Tool appears to be sparking

Immediately cease use in a hazardous environment and move to a safe area. Inspect the tool for contamination or damage. While designed to be non-sparking, extreme damage or certain contaminants could theoretically compromise this. Consult the manufacturer if concerns persist.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and strong construction from Beryllium Copper and die forging.
  • Comfortable and controlled handling with ergonomic soft-grip design.
  • Convenient storage with a built-in hanging hole.
  • Designed for reliable, daily professional use.

Cons

  • Not necessary for general use where spark risk is absent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This screwdriver requires no setup. It is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.

Compatibility: The Sealey NS095 is designed for use with slotted screws of approximately 8mm width. Its non-sparking nature makes it compatible with environments where static discharge or friction sparks are a concern.

Care: To ensure longevity and maintain its non-sparking properties:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the tool clean after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the grip or the material properties.
  2. Inspection: Periodically inspect the tip for any signs of wear or damage. Check the handle for cracks or excessive wear.
  3. Storage: Store the screwdriver in a dry place. Utilize the hanging hole for safe storage, preventing it from rolling or being damaged.
  4. Environment: While designed for hazardous areas, avoid prolonged immersion in corrosive substances that could degrade the Beryllium Copper or handle material over time.
