The right driver for M3.5 backbox screws

Eddiesparks · Apr 4, 2013

Sounds basic but i had the PERFECT 1000v screwdriver for back box screws. The bloody chippy at work borrowed it and i never got it back. He's a tool(!) about stuff like this (basic respect) so that's another subject but i need to get a replacement and havent been able to find one. I have a nice 0.75x4 but I feel like i need a wider 0.75x6. Anyone got any insight on this? Thanks a lot!

Borrow his nice, expensive 2" wood chisel and grind it down!

wiha do 4.5mm and 5mm tip drivers.....the first is excellent for plate screws and socket terminals..and they do em in long n short versions....diff tip thicknesses....go on there...knock yourself out

finger nails....... alternatively, i really like my Irazola drivers. Long shafts so good torque, nice grips and life time warranted. Perfect

I have two seven piece Irazola sets and I hate them! Only got them because they were something like £24! I used to love CK but don't like the newer shaped handles!

i use two drivers daily

wera 2.5 and bahco 3.5 driver for socket fronts etc

(im guessing its 3.5 the writing has long since worn off and havent paid too much attention to it for a while)

I'm confused!! 4mm x 0.75 is what i already have but the driver i had (and got lost) was a thin blade so did m3.5 and socket terminals but also around 5mm wide so great torque and no slippage. Esp for the m3.5s
