Using Screwdrivers and Nut Drivers
Introduction
Klein screwdrivers give professionals extra-quality features that have made the Klein
name famous for hand tools – features that assure greater convenience, comfort and
efficiency in use, plus exceptional strength and durability.
All Klein drivers are made of the highest quality tempered steel, carefully
heat-treated for maximum strength. Shafts have integral flanges that provide an
extra-strong, torque-proof anchor in the handle. Strong, durable black tips are forged
and precision ground with square edges to fit screw openings securely. They resist
slippage and provide positive turning action.
Cushion-Grip screwdrivers feature super-comfortable, sure-grip handles on top-quality
blades for the professional. All Klein screwdrivers meet or exceed applicable ANSI and
MIL specifications.
The size of the screw or nut and the type of opening it has determines which
driver to use. Here are a few tips on how to use a driver that can be of benefit,
because screwdrivers are the most often misused and abused hand tools of all.
1. Never use a driver to do another tool's job.
Using a driver as a pry bar, scraper, or a chisel can ruin the tool, spoil
the work and cause injury.
2. Never push a driver beyond its capacity.
Make a pilot hole for the screw for easier driving. Use square-shank
drivers for heavy work.
3. Never expose a driver to excessive heat.
Direct flame can draw the temper from the metal, weakening and
possibly warping it, making it unsafe and inefficient to use.
4.
Never use a driver at an angle to the screw.
Always keep the shank perpendicular to the screw head. Driving at an
angle or using a point that is too small can spoil the screw or slip and
damage the work.
5.
Never depend on a driver's handle or covered blade to insulate
you from electricity.
Plastic and Cushion-Grip handles are intended only
to provide a firm, comfortable grip. Insulated blades are intended only as
a protective measure against shorting out components. Only use insulated
tools that are marked with the official international 1000-volt rating symbol if
there is any chance that the tool will make contact with an energized source.
6. Discard damaged or worn drivers.
