How to use

To use the screwdriver, ensure the tip is fully seated into the slot of the screw head to prevent cam-out.

Maintain a straight alignment between the screwdriver and the screw axis to ensure optimal torque transfer and prevent damage to the screw head.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the screw head size to ensure compatibility with the 8mm tip width.
• Assess the required reach for your specific application to confirm the 175mm blade length is sufficient.
• Ensure the tool is used in a non-energized environment if working on electrical components.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the screwdriver tip for signs of wear or damage before use. Keep the tool clean and store it in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the handle and blade.
