Product Information
Full details
The BlueSpot Slotted Screwdriver 9.5 x 200mm is a robust hand tool designed for professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable flat-head driver for heavy-duty fastening tasks. Featuring a durable chrome vanadium shaft and an ergonomic grip, it excels at providing the necessary leverage for larger slotted screws; however, its specialized 9.5mm blade size is specifically optimized for larger hardware and may be too wide for delicate or small-scale electronics work.

FAQs
Is this screwdriver magnetic?
The product information does not specify magnetic properties; assume the tip is standard steel.
Can I use this for electrical work?
This tool is not marketed as VDE-certified or insulated, so it should not be used on live electrical circuits.
What does the 9.5 x 200mm specification mean?
The 9.5mm refers to the width of the flat blade tip, while the 200mm refers to the length of the shaft from the handle to the tip.
Is the shaft heat-treated?
Yes, being made of chrome vanadium steel implies it has been heat-treated for hardness and durability.
Does the handle provide a high-torque grip?
The handle is designed with an ergonomic shape to assist in applying manual torque comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Tool tip slipping out of the screw slot (cam-out)
Verify that the screw head size matches the 9.5mm width; if the screw slot is worn or undersized, the tool will not seat correctly.
Difficulty turning seized screws
Apply a penetrating oil to the screw threads and allow time to soak. Use the handle diameter for leverage rather than extending the tool with a pipe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This screwdriver requires no assembly. To maintain the tool:
- Cleaning: Wipe the shaft with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dust or debris.
- Corrosion Prevention: If the tool is used in damp conditions, lightly coat the steel shaft with a silicone-based spray to prevent surface oxidation.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment. Use a tool roll or a wall-mounted rack to avoid blunting the precision tip by letting it clash with other steel tools.
- Usage Limits: Do not use this tool as a lever, pry bar, or chisel, as this may result in permanent bending of the shaft or snapping of the tip.
