Manual screwdriver YATO YT-2822 — 1-piece hand tool for fastening and loosening screws

YATO YT-2822 manual screwdriver is a single-piece Phillips hand tool designed for tightening and loosening screws in general-purpose applications. It features a PH1 blade of 80 mm length made from durable S2 steel with HRC 56–60 hardness and a multi-component VDE-certified insulated handle. The insulated construction is tested to EN 60900 and provides protection when working on electrical installations and devices up to 1000 V AC. Supplied as one unit per pack, this screwdriver is intended for manual assembly, repairs and routine maintenance where a handheld insulated driver is required.

Advantages

The YT-2822 combines high-strength S2 steel with precise blade geometry for reliable torque transfer and long service life. The PH1 blade and 80 mm length offer good reach for common fastening tasks while minimizing slip at the screw head. The multi-component handle includes mini-grooves and notches that improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use. VDE insulation is independently tested and certified to EN 60900, providing dielectric protection up to 1000 V AC and additional surface protection against scratching of soft non-ferrous materials.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and maintenance work on live or potentially live equipment (up to 1000 V AC)
• Manual assembly and repairs in workshops and industry
• Household maintenance tasks and appliance servicing
• Precision fastening where a PH1 screwdriver is required

Key specifications

• Tip type: Phillips PH1
• Blade length: 80 mm
• Blade material: S2 steel, hardness HRC 56–60
• Handle: multi-component insulated handle with anti-slip mini-grooves and notches
• Insulation: VDE-certified, tested to EN 60900 for use up to 1000 V AC
• Packaging: single unit per pack

How to use

Select the PH1 tip for compatible screw heads and position the blade tip fully into the screw recess to reduce cam-out. Grip the multi-component handle firmly with the palm and apply steady axial pressure while turning. For electrical work, always verify the absence of voltage where possible and adhere to local safety procedures; the VDE insulation reduces the risk of electric shock when working on live equipment up to 1000 V AC but does not replace safe working practices. Keep the blade clean and free of debris to maintain contact accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use the YATO YT-2822 for tasks requiring a reliable PH1 insulated screwdriver; avoid using the tool as a pry bar or on fasteners larger than the intended tip size. Regularly inspect the insulation and handle for damage and retire the tool if cracks, deep gouges or compromised insulation are found. Store in a dry environment to preserve blade condition and insulation effectiveness.
