Flat-head screwdriver Proxxon PR22018, blade 8.0 x 1.2 mm

Proxxon PR22018 is a flat-head screwdriver with an 8.0 x 1.2 mm blade designed for manual fastening and loosening of slotted screws. The tool offers a defined flat tip profile that ensures reliable engagement with standard slotted screw heads. It is intended for precision and general-purpose mechanical and electronic work where a specific blade width and thickness are required.

Advantages

The flat blade geometry and accurately machined tip reduce slippage and improve contact with the screw slot. Its dimensions provide consistent torque transfer for controlled turning of screws without damaging the screw head. The screwdriver is suitable for tasks requiring a specific blade size, enabling repeatable results in assembly and repair work.

Suitable for

• Manual fastening and loosening of slotted screws
• Precision electronics assembly and maintenance
• Mechanical and household repair work requiring an 8.0 x 1.2 mm flat tip
• Hobby and model-building applications where defined tip size is necessary

Key specifications

• Blade width: 8.0 mm
• Blade thickness: 1.2 mm
• Tip type: flat / slotted
• Operation: manual
• Typical use: precision and general-purpose fastening

How to use

Select the Proxxon flat-head screwdriver that matches the slot width and thickness of the screw to be turned. Position the tip fully inside the screw slot to maximize surface contact, then apply steady axial pressure while turning the handle to fasten or loosen the screw. Use controlled torque to avoid cam-out or deformation of the screw head. For precision electronic work, work on a stable surface and ensure proper lighting and magnification if required.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the screwdriver tip before use and replace the tool if the blade shows significant wear or rounding. Use the 8.0 x 1.2 mm flat-head screwdriver for screws that match the blade dimensions to minimize slipping and damage. Store the tool in a dry place and avoid excessive torque beyond manual capability to preserve tip geometry.
