Product Information
Full details
The Facom APB.1X40 Stubby Phillips Screwdriver is designed for automotive technicians, electricians, and hobbyists who frequently encounter fasteners in restricted environments. Its primary benefit is a high-torque, compact form factor that allows for precise operation where standard-length tools cannot fit; however, it is specifically intended for short-reach tasks and is not suitable for applications requiring long-range access.

FAQs
What is the overall length of the APB.1X40?
The overall length of the tool is 90mm.
Can I use this for deep screws?
No, this screwdriver is specifically designed for short-reach applications with a 40mm blade.
What size is the tip?
The tip is a standard PH.1 size.
Is the handle chemical resistant?
Facom tools are designed for professional environments and are generally resistant to common workshop fluids, though it should be wiped clean after contact.
Can this be used as a chisel or pry bar?
No, using this screwdriver for prying or chiseling will damage the tip and void its functional precision.
Troubleshooting
Screwdriver tip slipping from the screw head
Ensure you are using a PH.1 fastener. If the screw is damaged or the wrong size, the tip will not seat correctly.
Visible rust or oxidation on the chrome finish
Clean the area with a light abrasive pad and apply a thin layer of machine oil to restore the protective barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no setup; it is ready for use immediately. It is fully compatible with any standard PH.1 Phillips head fastener. To maintain the tool, wipe the blade and shaft with a clean, dry cloth after exposure to chemicals or moisture. Store the screwdriver in a dry tool chest or rack to prevent the tip from dulling or accumulating debris, and avoid using the tool as a pry bar to prevent tip deformation.
