How to use

Select a bit that matches the screw head to avoid stripping. Insert the bit fully into the bit holder until it seats securely. Use the magnetic tip to pick up or hold screws when positioning them in tight locations. Apply steady, controlled torque using fingertip pressure on the compact handle; avoid excessive force to prevent damage to delicate components. Change bits as needed by pulling the current bit from the holder and replacing it with the appropriate size.

Usage recommendations

Work on a static-free surface and, when repairing sensitive electronics, use appropriate ESD precautions. Store bits in a protective case or organizer to keep them clean and prevent loss. For stubborn screws, ensure the bit is the correct size and fully seated before applying additional torque.
