This is a 6.5 mm slotted (flat) screwdriver with a 38 mm blade length and a spring-grip style handle, designed for turning slotted screws in confined or recessed positions. Its short blade and compact overall length make it ideal for terminal blocks, instrument panels, switchgear and other maintenance tasks where access is restricted and a standard-length screwdriver will not reach or manoeuvre easily.

The blade is manufactured from chrome vanadium (Cr-V) steel, heat-treated and tempered to provide good torsional strength and durability. The tip is precision-machined and induction-hardened to resist wear and reduce cam‑out when engaging screw slots. The shank has a corrosion-resistant satin/chrome finish to protect against rust. The tool complies with recognised hand-tool tip and dimension conventions used in DIN, ISO and BS standards for slotted screwdrivers, ensuring compatibility with common slotted screw head geometries.

The handle is a spring-grip, soft-touch moulded plastic design that gives a secure, non-slip grip during use and helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. The handle profile is shaped for controlled torque and quick directional turns. As a slotted-drive tool it is suitable for standard slotted screw heads found in electrical fittings, appliance assemblies, furniture fittings and many mechanical installations.

Typical users include electricians, service engineers, telecommunications technicians, assembly operatives and maintenance teams across automotive, manufacturing, building services and utilities sectors. The stubby 38 mm blade is particularly useful in cramped enclosures, behind control panels or where screws sit close to surrounding structures.

Key benefits are the corrosion resistance of the plated Cr‑V shank, the hardened tip for long life and reliable engagement, and the compact size that improves access in tight spaces. The tool’s materials and heat treatment deliver the strength required for routine industrial and trade use while remaining compatible with standard slotted fasteners.
