FAQs

What type of screw heads does this screwdriver work with?

This screwdriver is specifically designed for Pozi (PZ) head screws. It is not compatible with Phillips (PH) or other screw types without an appropriate adapter.

How do I change the direction of the ratchet?

There is a rotation dial on the handle. Slide the dial to the left for loosening (counter-clockwise) and to the right for tightening (clockwise). Ensure the dial is fully engaged in one position before turning.

What are the included bits?

The pack includes a selection of Pozi head screw bits, though the exact sizes and quantities are typically detailed on the packaging. It is designed for common household screw sizes.

Is the grip comfortable for long periods?

Yes, the handle features a rubber grip designed for enhanced comfort and control, which helps reduce hand fatigue during extended use.

How do I clean the screwdriver?

Wipe the bits and shaft with a dry cloth after each use to remove dust and debris. Store in a dry environment.

Can I use this with power tools?

No, this is a manual hand tool and is not designed for use with power drills or impact drivers.

What is the material of the screwdriver shaft?

The screwdriver shaft is made from durable Chrome Vanadium steel.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver not engaging the screw properly.

Ensure the correct bit type (Pozi) is fully inserted into the shaft and matches the screw head. Check that the rotation dial is firmly set to either tighten or loosen, not in between positions.

Ratcheting mechanism feels stiff or is not switching directions.

Check the rotation dial for any obstructions. Clean any debris from the mechanism. If stiffness persists, a small drop of lubricant may help, but avoid over-lubrication.

Bit is difficult to insert or remove from the holder.

Ensure the carousel bit holder is fully open. Check the bit shank for damage or debris. Gently twist the bit while inserting or removing.
