HANDTOOLS, and screwdrivers in particular, are a costly item these days and they have a tendency to go missing. Now Britool has brought out what it claims is a versatile screwdriver capable of doing the jobs of at least four different screwdrivers — at much less cost.
The B430 comes with four interchangeable bits — two slotted-screw and two Pozidrive — which are stored in the screwdriver handle. Bits are fitted into a stainless steel hexagon sleeve, where they are retained by magnetic force. This force is also strong enough to help position small steel screws.
Britool says the B430 is a heavy-duty driver, capable of withstanding four times the turning force that an average person can generate.
Although only supplied with four bits, the B430 will accept up to 13 extra bits from the Britool Interchangeable Bit System including Posidrive, hexagon, and extra-long slotted-screw bits in a range of sizes.
The standard 13430, with four interchangeable bits, has a recommended retail price of £5.90 (excluding vat) and is available from leading motor factors and tool distributors. Britool, Fourth Avenue, Bushbury, Wolverhampton. Tel: 0902 731281.
