A flat screwdriver is a hand tool specifically designed to turn screws with flat-head slots.
This tool is commonly used in various DIY tasks, such as assembling furniture, repairing machinery, and working with electrical wiring. Flat screwdrivers come in two main types: the standard type, ideal for general use, and the torque driver, designed for handling robust screws and providing strong fastening.
The standard type is suitable for everyday applications, while the torque driver is preferred when high torque application is necessary.
When using a flat screwdriver, it is crucial to match the screwdriver head with the screw slot and ensure proper orientation. Incorrect usage or applying inappropriate torque can damage both the driver and the screw, making further repairs challenging.
