Screwdrivers

About this category

Hand screwdrivers consist of a metal blade fixed in a handle that provides grip and manual torque, used to drive slotted, Phillips, hex or Torx fasteners in industrial assembly, maintenance and repair work. They are supplied in graduated sizes to suit different screw heads; selection of the appropriate tip profile and size depends on the fastener interface and application compatibility. Some models offer anti-slip handles or magnetic blades that retain the fastener during installation, and sets grouping multiple sizes in a single case are commonly available for field service. Insulated screwdrivers rated for live electrical work are excluded from this category and are listed under Insulated Tools → Insulated Screwdrivers because of their distinct testing and marking requirements. Precision torque screwdrivers and powered screwdriving tools are also excluded. Electrical insulation is a separately documented product characteristic and should not be inferred from handle appearance or construction alone. The industrial buyer selects models based on the prevailing screw type on site, the blade length required to reach the fastener, and the service environment in terms of corrosion exposure and humidity. Grip ergonomics and tip finish may be considered where tasks involve repetitive driving or exposure to lateral load during operation.
