Manual screwdriver BAHCO BE-8256 — hand tool, weight 0.135 kg

BAHCO BE-8256 is a manual screwdriver designed for general fastening and loosening tasks. This hand tool weighs 0.135 kg and delivers a compact, portable solution for workshop, repair and maintenance work. Its design follows ergonomic principles to provide reliable control when working with slotted head screws in mechanical, electrical and household applications where a standard manual screwdriver is required.

Advantages

The screwdriver features a three-component handle that combines soft and firm materials with a ridged surface for improved grip and greater force transmission. A phosphate finished tip increases positional accuracy, while the high-performance alloy steel blade with chrome plating is entirely hardened to resist corrosion and extend tool life. The colour-coded handle and permanent symbol on the domed end make tip identification quick, and the integrated hanging hole and flat face add practical convenience in workshop environments.

How to use
