Manual screwdriver AWTools AW38142BL, weight 100 g, model AW38142BL

Manual screwdriver AWTools AW38142BL is a compact, lightweight handheld tool weighing 100 g. Constructed from hardened and tempered CrV steel with a satin finish, it is intended for manual fastening and loosening of screws and for use with 1/4" sockets and ratchets. The tool is built for general repair, assembly and maintenance tasks where a non-powered screwdriver is preferred. An ergonomic plastic handle and a spring ball lock secure the connection to sockets and reduce the risk of slipping during use.

Advantages

The AWTools AW38142BL combines a durable CrV steel shaft with a satin surface treatment for corrosion resistance and consistent performance. Its spring ball lock mechanism ensures a tight fit into 1/4" sockets, preventing accidental disengagement. The ergonomic plastic handle provides a firm grip for controlled torque and reduced hand fatigue despite the tool's simple manual design. The compact, 100 g construction makes it easy to carry and store.

Suitable for

• Home repairs and appliance maintenance
• Workshop tasks requiring manual screwdriving with 1/4" sockets
• Assembly of furniture and fixtures
• Professional use where a non-powered, reliable hand tool is needed

Key specifications

• Material: hardened and tempered CrV (chromium-vanadium) steel with satin finish
• Weight: 100 g
• Handle: ergonomic plastic handle for secure grip
• Locking mechanism: spring ball lock for secure socket retention
• Compatibility: designed to work with 1/4" sockets and ratchets

How to use

Insert an appropriate 1/4" socket onto the screwdriver's square drive until the spring ball lock clicks into place. Hold the ergonomic handle firmly and apply steady manual torque to tighten or loosen fasteners. For removal, pull the socket away from the drive while depressing the socket slightly to overcome the spring ball retention. Use controlled force appropriate to the fastener and material to avoid rounding or damaging screw heads.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW38142BL for tasks that require precise manual control or where powered tools are impractical. Regularly inspect the CrV shaft and handle for wear or damage, keep the satin-finished steel clean and lightly oiled to reduce corrosion, and select sockets that match fastener sizes to ensure secure engagement and safe operation.
