Product Information
Full details
The Facom Slotted Wooden Handle Screwdriver (ATHH.14X250) is designed for professional mechanics and woodworkers who prioritize traditional ergonomics and heavy-duty reliability. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-torque, long-reach 250 mm blade with a classic, durable wooden handle that provides a superior grip under manual pressure. While it offers excellent tactile feedback and robustness, users should be aware that the natural wood handle requires more careful maintenance compared to modern synthetic, solvent-resistant composite grips.

FAQs
Is this screwdriver suitable for electrical work?
No, this screwdriver does not feature insulated handles and should not be used on live electrical circuits.
Can I use this for prying?
It is not recommended. Prying can bend the 250 mm blade and damage the tip, significantly reducing the lifespan of the tool.
How do I maintain the wooden handle?
Keep it dry and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals. Occasional application of wood-safe oil will help keep the wood from drying out.
What is the total length of the tool?
The overall length of the screwdriver is 385 mm, including the handle and the 250 mm blade.
Does the 14 mm tip fit standard slotted screws?
The 14 mm tip is quite large and is intended for heavy-duty or industrial slotted fasteners, not standard household cabinet screws.
Troubleshooting
The tip keeps slipping out of the screw slot
Ensure the screwdriver is perfectly perpendicular to the screw and that the screw slot is free of paint, rust, or debris.
The wooden handle feels dry or splintered
Lightly sand the handle with high-grit sandpaper and apply a thin coat of food-safe wood oil to restore the surface.
Difficulty turning seized screws
Apply a penetrating oil to the fastener and allow it to sit before attempting to turn; use the 250 mm shaft to gain extra leverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Facom screwdriver, avoid using the tool as a prying bar or chisel, as this will damage the tip and potentially split the wooden handle. Regarding compatibility, the 14 mm tip is sized for heavy industrial standards; always ensure the fastener slot is clean and free of debris before insertion to prevent slipping. For care, keep the wooden handle dry and clean. If the wood begins to feel dry, you may apply a small amount of wood oil or wax to preserve the finish. Store the screwdriver in a tool roll or a dry rack to prevent the wood from absorbing humidity, which can lead to handle degradation.
