Draper 9 Piece Tx-Star Precision Screwdriver Set T4-T20 - 28117 - For Home DIY Electronics & Professional Use

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. It comprises 17 screwdrivers, including three Torx, plus sets of imperial and metric Allen keys, and a universal handle with ten interchangeable ends. There’s something here for almost every kind of job. Sizes range from a big 8mm to 2mm straight-slot, with similar Phillips and Pozidriv options.

To insert the Torx key that you are using locate and align the matching key sized slots in the handle and pass the short length of the key into the tool. Twist the red end to offset the holes and hold the tool in place. See the picture on the product description. 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? 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.Stanley always makes good-quality tools, and this set is no different. The blades are moulded directly into the handles to make them “virtually unbreakable”, and the handles themselves are large, with soft rubber for an excellent grip.

Everything about this set is sensibly designed, from the shot-blasted tips that reduce breakage, to the ergonomic shapes and smooth domed ends to the handles that allow them to spin easily. Colour-coded ends mean you’ll soon be able to identify the tool you want without having to peer at the tip. 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. From RS PRO this nine-piece screwdriver set contains popular sizes of TORX head screwdrivers. TORX is a type of screw head with a six-point star intrusion, designed to ensure even more torque can be applied, in mechanical production for example.These robust tools are constructed from chrome finished vanadium steel, for a long and dependable service life. Featuring ergonomic handles and supplied in a durable zip-up wallet, this TORX screwdriver kit is perfect for professional applications.
