Separately, I want to dwell on the indicator screwdriver, which occupies a special place among all the variety. Why? Because it not only works with fastening, but also performs a diagnostic function, that is, detects the presence of voltage in the network. The indicator screwdriver thus helps to identify a malfunction or danger in advance. Therefore, it is a mandatory hand tool in every household.
Types of screwdrivers: which one to choose?
Although a screwdriver is considered a universal item, each of them is designed for a specific task. The choice depends on the type of fastening, working conditions and safety. Let's get acquainted with the most popular ones.
A flat screwdriver is a classic option with a straight blade. It is used for screws with a straight slot when repairing electronics, working with household appliances).
A shaped screwdriver (cross-shaped) is the most popular type after the flat one. Its working end has the shape of a cross, thereby ensuring a tight grip with the screw slot, without slipping. It can be used when assembling furniture, repairing equipment, working with standard self-tapping screws.
The impact screwdriver is designed for working with rusty screws. It has a durable design and a handle that can withstand hammer blows. During impact, the screwdriver converts force into rotational movement. It is often used in car workshops, in the construction and repair of large mechanisms.
Dielectric screwdrivers are tools with special insulation that protect the craftsman from electric shock. It withstands a voltage of up to 1000 V. Therefore, it is safe to work with electricity.
The torque screwdriver is equipped with a mechanism that allows you to precisely control the tightening torque of screws and self-tapping screws. This is especially important in work where excessive effort can damage parts. It is used in the automotive industry, aviation, electronics, and medical equipment.
By the way, you can buy an impact screwdriver, like any other, in the VADA online store.
It is better to have screwdrivers (a set) for all occasions in life for different tasks.
How to choose a screwdriver
When buying a screwdriver, you should pay attention to several important nuances.
- Purpose: why do you need this tool, for what work? And the type of screwdriver and its quality will depend on this.
- Type of slot: cross (for self-tapping screws and standard screws), flat (for old types of fasteners and electronics), star (torx) for working with cars and household appliances, hexagonal — needed for furniture and structures with hexagon bolts.
- Insulated handle - when working with electricity, be sure to choose a screwdriver with dielectric insulation, it will protect against electric shock.
- The length and diameter of the rod: a long rod is convenient for working in hard-to-reach places, a short one is easier to work where there is little space, and the thickness affects the strength, for powerful screws it is better to take massive screwdrivers.
- Tip material: prefer chrome-vanadium or chrome-molybdenum steel with magnetic coating.
- Ergonomics - a comfortable handle with rubberized inserts or a ribbed surface reduces slipping and reduces fatigue during work.
There should be at least one universal screwdriver at home. Its price depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the steel.
