Flat screwdriver EPM M3 8x200 mm model E-400-0337

Flat (slotted) screwdriver EPM from the M3 series, shaft size 8x200 mm, model E-400-0337 is a hand tool designed for turning slotted screws and fasteners. The tool combines an 8 mm blade width with a 200 mm shaft length to provide reach and leverage for general maintenance, assembly and repair tasks. The design suits use in workshops, electrical and mechanical service work where a straight blade tip and extended shaft are required.

Advantages

The straight 8 mm blade provides a precise fit for standard slotted screw heads, reducing cam-out when used correctly. The 200 mm shaft delivers additional reach into recessed or deep-mounted fasteners while maintaining torsional stiffness for applied torque. The EPM M3 construction emphasizes durability and consistent blade geometry for repeatable performance during routine service tasks.

Suitable for

• General maintenance and repair work in workshops
• Electrical service and panel work where slotted screws are used
• Mechanical assembly and equipment servicing with recessed fasteners
• DIY tasks requiring a long-reach slotted screwdriver

Key specifications

• Blade width: 8 mm (flat/slotted tip)
• Shaft length: 200 mm
• Tool type: Flat (slotted) screwdriver
• Series: M3 (EPM)
• Intended use: Hand-operated fastening and loosening of slotted screws

How to use

Select the screwdriver so the 8 mm blade matches the width of the slotted screw head to ensure stable contact. Insert the flat tip fully into the screw slot, apply axial pressure to keep the tip seated, and rotate the handle to tighten or loosen the fastener. Use controlled force to avoid damaging the screw head; the 200 mm shaft offers extra reach for screws positioned in deeper locations. Inspect the blade tip before use and avoid using the screwdriver on inappropriate fastener types to prevent wear.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, keep the blade tip clean and free of nicks; use the correct blade width for the screw head; avoid using the screwdriver as a prying tool or chisel; and store the tool in a dry place to minimise corrosion. When working near live electrical circuits, ensure appropriate insulation or de-energise the circuit before use.
