Description / Abstract:
This Standard covers straight handle-type screwdrivers of
PHILLIPS®¹ and
POZIDRIV®¹ design intended for manual operation in driving or
removing screws with
PHILLIPS®¹ or POZIDRIV®¹ recesses. The screwdrivers
are of the types normally
used by cabinetmakers, carpenters, sheet metal workers, production
workers, mechanics, etc. The
intention is to specify performance rather than design detail.
Inclusion of dimensional data in this 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.
