Screwdriver flat widened STANLEY FatMax 2.5 x 75 mm (model 65-478)

Flat widened screwdriver STANLEY FatMax 2.5 x 75 mm (model 65-478) is a compact hand tool designed for driving and removing slotted (flat-head) screws. The tool combines a widened flat blade profile with a short shaft length to improve contact with screw heads and enable precise torque transfer in confined spaces. Its size and geometry make it suitable for mechanical, electrical and household work where a controlled, accurate slotted bit is needed.

Advantages

The widened flat blade increases contact area with screw slots, reducing cam-out and improving stability during turning. The short 75 mm blade length provides better control in tight spaces and reduces leverage for delicate fastening tasks. The FatMax handle is designed for comfortable grip and secure manual control, helping to maintain consistent torque and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use.

Suitable for

• Assembly and disassembly of small machinery and panels
• Electrical terminal and connector adjustments where slotted screws are used
• General household repairs such as hinges, switches and fixtures
• Precision fastening tasks in workshops and service environments

Key specifications

• Blade type: slotted (flat) widened tip
• Blade dimensions: 2.5 mm tip width × 75 mm length
• Handle style: ergonomic FatMax handle for manual torque control
• Overall tool length: compact length suitable for work in confined spaces

How to use

Select the screwdriver when a slotted screw of matching width is present. Place the widened blade squarely into the screw slot to maximize contact area, then apply steady, controlled pressure while turning to drive or remove the screw. Use short, deliberate turns when working in confined areas or on delicate materials to avoid over-torquing. Keep the blade aligned with the screw axis to prevent slot damage and premature wear.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean screw slots before use and verify that the blade width matches the screw head. Use appropriate hand force and avoid striking the tool with a hammer. Store the screwdriver in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect the blade for wear; replace the tool if the tip becomes rounded or damaged.
