FAQs

What is the difference between a slotted and a Phillips?

Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers are the two most common types of drivers found in most tool kits. Although they both ultimately allow the same task to be carried out, they feature different tips and are suited to different screws. Phillips screwdrivers feature a tapered Phillips tip, allowing them to be securely inserted into Phillips screws without accidental slippage. Slotted screwdrivers are used with slotted screws and can slip out if too much pressure is applied.

Is this screwdriver magnetised?

No, this screwdriver is not magnetised but can be simply magnetised by using a magnetiser, available here at RS e.g. 667-3471

Is this screwdriver VDE approved?

No, this screwdriver cannot be used with electric devices as it hasn't been designed to work under any voltage.

Are the handles removable?

The soft grip handles featured on these RS PRO screwdrivers are fixed, ensuring a safe and secure connection to the shaft preventing unwanted removable and injury.
