Product Information
Full details
The Hilka 7-piece Go-Thru Screwdriver Set is designed for professional tradespeople and home DIY enthusiasts who require durable tools capable of withstanding heavy-duty use. The set's primary benefit is its go-through blade construction, which allows users to apply impact force to the screwdriver without damaging the handle; however, users should be aware that while these are robust, they are not intended to replace dedicated chisels or masonry demolition tools.

FAQs
Can I use these to pry apart wood?
No. While they are heavy-duty, they are designed for driving screws, not as pry bars.
Are the tips magnetized?
Yes, all screwdrivers in this set feature magnetic tips for convenience.
What sizes are included?
The set includes slotted (5x75mm, 6x100mm, 8x150mm), Phillips (PH1x75mm, PH2x100mm), and Pozi (PZ1x75mm, PZ2x100mm).
What is the benefit of the hex shaft?
The hex shaft allows you to apply extra turning force using an adjustable wrench or spanner.
Can I hit these with a metal hammer?
Yes, the metal striking cap is specifically designed to handle impacts from hammers.
Are these screwdrivers insulated for electrical work?
No, these are not VDE rated for electrical insulation.
Troubleshooting
Fastener head slipping
Ensure you are using the correct tip type (Slotted vs. Phillips vs. Pozi) and size. Magnetic tips should be cleaned to ensure a flush seat against the screw head.
Difficulty turning seized screws
Use the hexagonal shaft to attach a wrench for added leverage, or use the striking cap to seat the blade firmly into the screw slot.
Striking cap feels loose
Check the connection point at the rear of the handle. If it feels unstable, cease use of the striking feature and inspect for damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Initial Setup: No assembly is required. The screwdrivers are ready for immediate use out of the box.
- Compatibility: The set covers the most common fastener types, including Slotted, Phillips, and Pozi, making it compatible with the majority of standard screws used in furniture and building materials.
- Care Instructions: To ensure longevity, wipe the blades clean after use to remove grit or debris. Avoid using these tools as crowbars or pry bars, as lateral stress can bend the shaft. Periodically check that the striking cap is securely fastened and clean the handles with a dry cloth to maintain grip; avoid using aggressive chemical solvents on the soft-grip rubber.
