Full details
This Narex Screwdriver Set in a Wooden Box is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who value tradition and reliability, especially in demanding work environments. Its key benefit is the durable construction offering longevity and precise torque application, though the traditional wooden handles may require careful handling to avoid damage from excessive impact. The set includes 7 essential screwdrivers with blades made from treated Cr-V steel, chrome-plated for corrosion resistance, and extending through the handle for maximum strength. They also feature hex bolsters for use with a nut spanner, and the beech wood handles offer a comfortable, traditional grip suitable for light striking.

FAQs
What types of screws can I use with this set?
This set includes screwdrivers for slotted (flat-head), Phillips (cross-head), and Pozidriv screws, covering most common applications.
Can I use these screwdrivers for heavy hammering?
No, these screwdrivers are designed for light tapping to set the tip into a screw. The wooden handles are not intended for heavy impact or use as a chisel.
How do I maintain the wooden handles?
Wipe the handles with a dry cloth. Periodically, you can apply a small amount of wood oil to keep them conditioned. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
What does 'full tang' mean for these screwdrivers?
Full tang means the blade steel extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior strength and durability, preventing the blade from breaking away from the handle under stress.
Is the wooden box durable?
The wooden box is designed for storage and protection. While sturdy, it is still wood and should be handled with care to avoid damage from drops or excessive moisture.
What is the benefit of the hex bolster?
The hex bolster allows you to use a wrench or spanner on the screwdriver shaft for increased torque, which is helpful for loosening tight or stubborn screws.
How should I clean the blades to prevent rust?
After use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, then immediately dry. For long-term storage, a light coat of oil can offer protection.
Troubleshooting
Screwdriver tip appears worn or damaged.
Inspect the tip for burrs or damage. Minor burrs can sometimes be filed down carefully. For significant damage, consider replacing the screwdriver, as these are designed for specific applications and wear over time.
Wooden handle feels rough or dry.
Apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil or a dedicated wood treatment to the handle using a soft cloth. Let it soak in, then wipe off any excess. Avoid over-oiling.
Difficulty applying torque with hex bolster.
Ensure you are using the correct size nut spanner or wrench. Check that the fastener head is not stripped and that the screwdriver is fully seated in the screw.
Rust spots on the blade.
Gently scrub the affected area with a fine-grade steel wool or a rust eraser. Clean the blade thoroughly and apply a light coat of lubricating oil to prevent recurrence.
