FAQs
Are these screwdrivers insulated for electrical work?
No, these are standard screwdrivers and are not rated for electrical safety or insulation.
Can these be used for heavy-duty automotive repair?
They are designed for general repairs and furniture assembly. While durable, they may not withstand the extremely high torque required for seized automotive fasteners.
How do I know if I have a Phillips or a Pozi screw?
Pozi screws have an extra set of four smaller 'ticks' radiating from the center of the cross, whereas Phillips screws are just a standard cross shape.
What is the length of the shafts?
The set includes 100mm shafts for the smaller sizes and 125mm-150mm shafts for the larger sizes.
Are the tips replaceable?
No, the tips are fixed as part of the chrome vanadium shaft.
Troubleshooting
Screw falling off the tip
Clean the magnetic tip with a cloth to remove metal shavings or debris that may be interfering with the magnetic contact.
Difficulty turning screws
Ensure you are using the correct head type and size. Forcing a Phillips driver into a Pozi screw can cause cam-out and damage both the screw and the tool tip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This set requires no assembly; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. To maintain the integrity of the chrome vanadium steel, wipe the shafts with a dry cloth after use, especially if they have been exposed to moisture or corrosive materials. While the handles are chemical-resistant, it is recommended to keep them away from harsh solvents. When not in use, store the screwdrivers in a tool drawer or a dedicated tool roll. The set is compatible with standard Slotted, Phillips, and Pozi screws found in most general construction, electrical, and woodworking projects.
