Product Information
Full details
The BlueSpot Slotted Hex Bolster Screwdriver is an ideal choice for trade professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a heavy-duty tool capable of handling stubborn or rusted fasteners. Its primary benefit lies in the integrated hex bolster, which allows for the use of a wrench to apply extra torque, though users should be cautious as the soft-grip handle requires a firm, steady hand to avoid slipping during high-force applications.

FAQs
Can I use this screwdriver on Philips head screws?
No, this is a slotted screwdriver and will not fit Philips or Pozidriv head screws.
What is the benefit of the hex bolster?
The hex bolster allows you to attach a wrench to apply extra leverage to stubborn screws that cannot be turned by hand alone.
Is the tip magnetized?
Yes, the tip is magnetic to assist with holding screws during placement.
What material is the blade made from?
The blade is crafted from chrome vanadium steel, known for its strength and durability.
How do I clean the handle?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away grease or dust; avoid harsh chemical solvents.
Troubleshooting
Screw head keeps slipping
Ensure the 6mm tip is fully seated in the screw slot and increase downward pressure while turning.
Magnetic tip not holding screws
Check for metallic debris on the tip and wipe it clean; occasionally, a stray metal filing can interfere with magnetic contact.
Bolster is difficult to turn with a wrench
Ensure the wrench size matches the hex bolster dimensions and that the wrench is seated flush against the bolster flat sides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this tool; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. To maintain the screwdriver in peak condition, wipe the blade with a clean, dry cloth after use, especially if it has been exposed to moisture, to prevent oxidation. For the handle, use mild soap and water if the grip becomes oily or dirty. Always store the tool in a dry environment and avoid using the blade as a pry bar, as excessive lateral force can cause the shaft to bend or the tip to chip.
