Troubleshooting

Screwdriver tip slips out of screw head

Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver size for the screw. Verify the tip is fully seated within the screw slot. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly into the screw head.

Difficulty turning a stubborn screw

Apply more downward force while turning. Ensure the screwdriver shaft is clean and free of debris. For very tight screws, consider using a penetrating oil and allowing it to sit before attempting to turn.

Handle feels uncomfortable during prolonged use

Ensure you are gripping the handle correctly without excessive force. Take short breaks to rest your hand. Consider wearing work gloves for added comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. This is a manual hand tool ready for immediate use.

Compatibility: Designed for use with slotted screws matching the SL6.5 x 125 mm size. Always ensure the screwdriver tip is fully seated in the screw slot to prevent cam-out and damage to the screw or tool.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe the screwdriver clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
