Description / Abstract:
This Standard covers straight handle-type screwdrivers of flat tip
design intended for manual
operation in driving or removing screws with slotted recesses. The
screwdrivers are of the types
normally used by cabinet-makers, carpenters, sheet metal workers,
production workers, mechanics,
etc. The intention is to specify performance rather than design
detail.
Inclusion of dimensional data in the Standard is not intended to imply
that all of the products
described herein are stock production sizes. Consumers are requested
to consult with manufacturers
concerning lists of stock production sizes.
Using a screwdriver as a pry bar or striking it with a hammer are
clearly misuses of the tool, and
nothing in this Standard shall be interpreted as condoning any tool
misuse. Further information
about proper use of screwdrivers is contained in the Guide to Hand
Tools - Selection, Safety Tips,
Proper Use and Care.
