Slotted screwdrivers feature a tip that is the same width as the shaft of the screwdriver, making them ideal for use with recessed screws or terminals. They are an essential hand tool in many tool kits, used in a wide range of applications such as:

• Construction
• DIY
• Industrial
• Electrical
• Automotive

Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers are the two most common types of drivers found in the majority of tool kits. Although they both ultimately allow the same task to be carried out, they feature different tips and are suited to different screws. A slotted screwdriver is ideal for use with a slotted screw head as the tip slots into the head with precision. However, care must be taken not to apply too much pressure on the drive as the tip can cam-out and scratch the material or cause injury.

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

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