Screwdriver Set

Screwdriver Set

Set of 6 assorted screwdrivers in both slotted and crosspoint styles and in a variety of lengths.

• Great for enabling children to take objects apart to view internal workings and mechanisms, as well as securing components and fastenings.

• Use to demonstrate to children the different types of screw fastenings and which screwdriver should be used with each.

• Crosspoint screwdrivers, also known as Philips screwdrivers, have a specific x-shaped design, whereby the tip is useful when a high force is required to tighten or loose the screw.

• Slotted screwdrivers, also known as flathead screwdrivers, are suitable for use with slotted screws which are commonly used for basic fastening tasks and for installing hinges and latches.

• Use to explain how the length of the screwdriver is dependent on the task. For example, long screwdrivers provide greater leverage as when force is applied to the handle, it is multiplied at the tip. Shorter screwdrivers provide better control and are more suitable for intricate work.
