Screwdriver Phillips (cross) Wera 05008842001 blade length 24.5 mm

Wera 05008842001 is a Phillips (cross) screwdriver with a 24.5 mm blade designed for accurate manual fastening and removal of Phillips-head screws. The short blade provides controlled torque transfer in confined spaces and helps ensure a reliable fit with compatible screw heads. This screwdriving tool is intended for general maintenance, electronic assembly, household repairs and workshop tasks that require a compact Phillips driver.

Advantages

The compact blade length allows precise access in tight assemblies and reduces the risk of slipping. The tip geometry is engineered to match Phillips profiles for improved engagement and minimized cam-out. Its short overall length improves control and hand positioning during repetitive screwdriving operations. The driver is lightweight and easy to handle, making it suitable for delicate or detailed tasks.

Suitable for

• Electronic device assembly and repair
• Small household repairs and furniture assembly
• Maintenance tasks in workshops with limited access
• Precision mechanical and electrical work

Key specifications

• Tip type: Phillips (cross)
• Blade length: 24.5 mm
• Drive method: manual
• Application: short-reach screwdriving for Phillips-head screws
• Typical use environments: electronics, household, workshop

How to use

Select the screwdriver and align the Phillips tip with the screw head so the cross profiles engage fully. Apply steady axial pressure while turning the handle to drive or remove the screw; avoid excessive force to reduce the risk of cam-out or damage to the screw head. For screws in recessed or tight locations, use the short blade to maintain control and visibility. Keep the tip clean and free of debris to maintain precise engagement.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool for screws that match the Phillips tip profile and avoid using it on damaged or stripped heads. For higher torque requirements, consider a longer or ratcheting driver designed for greater leverage. Store the screwdriver in a dry place and inspect the tip periodically for wear; replace if the tip becomes rounded to preserve screw integrity.
