Tool Tech 53390 8-in-1 Screwdriver Multi-Tool with Torch

Product Information

There’s also an eight-piece precision screwdriver set that includes four Torx drivers, perfect for taking laptops apart, and even a pair of offset screwdrivers, with a different bit at each end, for those really awkward spots.

The "Comfort" in this product's name comes from the ergonomic, cushioned handles, which we did indeed find very comfortable to hold and very easy to grip securely. The handles also prevent the screwdrivers from rolling off a tabletop if set near the edge. In our tests, all of the screwdrivers carried out their functions well, and our product tester commented on how easy they were to use. The only downside to this set is that it doesn't include a wide range of sizes. If you need insulated tools, however, but need to keep the price more reasonable than that of large insulated sets, this is a great option. We loved the completeness of this set, as well as the strong performance and sturdiness of all the included pieces. Our product tester appreciated the well-organized carrying case, which is labeled for size and type on all of the components, and which holds the bits in place securely but isn't too tight to remove them easily for use. The purpose of a screwdriver is to both insert and remove screws and nuts. If you want to replace a watch’s battery, you won’t use the same screwdriver you use to hang a shelf on a wall. The different functional screwdriver design types are described below.The screwdriver itself is equipped with a magnetic tip, useful for both pulling screws out and lining them up with the hole, and the flexible extension rod allows you to adjust the length of the screwdriver, depending on the size of the object you’re working on. We especially liked the elastic "bracelet" with a corded alligator clip attached that allows you to keep a grip on those tiny screws used in eyeglasses and other delicate items. "I thought it would be really difficult to use such a tiny screw with a screwdriver tip that wasn't magnetized but to take it one step further, the kit includes a bracelet that connects to a coiled cord, which is connected to an alligator clip to keep a tiny screw from being dropped and lost forever," noted our tester. A screwdriver is used for tightening or loosening the screw. A round rod with a flat end, having a handle at the other end, is called a screwdriver. The length of a screwdriver is measured, excluding the handle. The length of a screwdriver varies from 50 millimeters i.e., 2” to 18”. Sets that comprise a universal handle with many interchangeable tips are popular because they’re light and easy to carry, but once you lose one of the tips it tends to stay lost – they’re not very big and are often dull in colour. Lose too many and you’ll have to buy a new set of tips, or potentially replace the whole set. Can’t I just buy any old cheap screwdrivers? All models have a handle, shank and the blade tip. They come in different variations depending on their usage. Before you buy the biggest set you can find, ask yourself what your priorities are – if you just want a set for occasional DIY, then you don’t need a 100-piece set with every possible head. Equally, if you need a set for specific technical jobs, in addition to everyday home DIY, then it pays to make sure you buy a set that covers every eventuality, and has a suitably wide range of head types and sizes.

Our tester raved about this highly comprehensive kit, which is loaded with just about anything you might ever need for electronics repairs or other delicate work. From cell phones, laptops, and game consoles to watches, eyeglasses, and jewelry, the XOOL 80-in-1 Precision Screwdriver Set has the perfect tool for you. Its 58 different bits, all made of CR-V steel, accommodate a wide variety of screw shapes and sizes, including Phillips, Torx, flat head, hex, square, triangle, and more. It’s the perfect product for DIYers and hobbyists all the way up to professionals. Wrapped up in a convenient soft carrying bag that folds closed, it is easy to store in a drawer or tool box. Our tester liked the compact size of the tool, and mentioned that it was perfect for an emergency kit, the tool box of someone who was just starting out life on their own, or for anyone who only needed basic tools for occasional maintenance or simple tasks around the house. At this reasonable price, you might want to keep a LENOX 9-in-1 in more than one spot around your home, garage, and car. Something a little bit different. Wera launched its handle shape in the 1960s, basing it on the contours of the human hand. And despite a few tweaks, it’s stayed basically the same ever since. Human hands, Wera says, haven’t changed in that time either. On the upper part, either there is a hole through which a wire is passed, or this end is made flat so that when this part is fixed to handle, it does not allow the shank to move separately. These are generally made of carbon steel. #3 Blade The different types of blade tips commonly used are Philips head, Flat-head, Torx or Star, Hexagon, and Square or Robertson.Tri-wing screwdrivers are costly and not easily available like other drivers. These drivers were previously manufactured for use in aerospace engineering, but now you can easily find them in home electronics. #14 Carpenter Screwdriver Yankee Screwdriver: Instead of using ball bearings, this screwdriver uses a spring-loaded mechanism. Instead of twisting the screw with your wrist, you place the screw head against the screw and push it to tighten.
