Screwdriver Knipex 98 20 35 SL — Slotted 3.5 mm, multi-component handle

Hand screwdriver Knipex 98 20 35 SL features a 3.5 mm slotted tip and a multi-component handle designed for manual fastening and loosening of slotted screws. The precisely machined blade ensures stable engagement with screw heads while the handle combines a hard inner core and softer outer grip to provide controlled torque transfer and comfortable handling during repeated use in electrical work, maintenance and assembly tasks.

Advantages

The slotted 3.5 mm tip offers accurate contact with slot-type screw heads to reduce cam-out and wear on fasteners. The multi-component handle balances grip comfort and slip resistance for improved control in both dry and lightly oily conditions. The screwdriver is compact and straightforward in design, making it suitable for confined spaces and frequent tool changes. The robust blade material and precise tip geometry support consistent performance and extended service life under normal workshop use.

How to use

Select the screwdriver so the 3.5 mm slotted tip fits squarely in the screw slot. Position the tip fully into the slot to minimize slipping, apply steady axial pressure, and turn the handle in the required direction. Use controlled force appropriate to the screw size and material; avoid excessive torque to prevent damage to the screw head or the tool. After use, store the screwdriver in a tool holder or toolbox to protect the tip geometry.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, clean the screw slot and tip before use and avoid using the screwdriver with impact or power tools. Inspect the tip regularly for wear and replace the tool if the tip becomes deformed or rounded to maintain safe and effective operation.
