FAQs
What types of bits are included in the set?
The set includes 2 x Slotted (5 and 7mm), 2 x Phillips (PH1 and PH2), and 2 x Pozidriv (PZ1 and PZ2) bits.
Can I use my own bits with this driver?
Yes, the driver is designed for standard 1/4-inch hex shank bits, so you can use most common bits.
How do I change the direction of the ratchet?
There is a switch on the driver head that you can slide to select clockwise (drive), counter-clockwise (un-drive), or locked positions.
Is the magnetic holder strong enough for large screws?
The magnetic holder is designed to securely hold standard screws and bits. For exceptionally large or heavy fasteners, always support them manually as a precaution.
How should I clean the driver?
Wipe the driver with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the tool is completely dry afterward. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
Where is the bit storage located?
The bit storage is integrated into the bi-material handle of the driver.
Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism feels stiff or does not engage
Ensure the direction switch is fully engaged. Clean any debris from the mechanism and consider a light application of lubricant suitable for tools.
Bit is not held securely by the magnetic tip
Check if the bit shank is clean and dry. The magnet may be weakened if exposed to extreme heat or strong magnetic fields. Ensure you are using a bit with a clean shank.
Handle storage compartment is difficult to open or close
Check for any debris obstructing the compartment. Ensure the lid is aligned properly before attempting to open or close.
