Tekton #1 Phillips Screwdriver, 8 in. Shank - DWP00401

Tekton screwdrivers have handles that are designed for speed and torque. The front of the handle is round for quick turning and the middle transitions to a tri-lobe shape that provides a secure grip for high-torque driving. The handle’s red exterior is made of a lightly textured TPE material that is slightly soft and grippy for controlled spinning, fine adjustments, and reduced slipping under torque. Handle materials resist most common shop chemicals. Each driver has the tip size engraved in four locations with high-contrast laser markings. Each screwdriver handle has the same size through-hole so you can hang it on a hook. You can also attach a safety lanyard when working at heights to prevent drops. Tips are precisely machined and coated with black manganese phosphate, creating a slightly rough surface that enhances screw engagement. The conversion coating produces a uniform, corrosion-resistant layer that preserves tip geometry and doesn’t chip or flake off. The end of the blade is flattened to form a broad surface that resists twisting inside the handle. The handle is molded around the blade, creating a solid connection that is stronger and straighter than simply pressing the blade into a premade handle. Our Phillips tips are made to the ISO 8764-1 standard, and are also compatible with JIS screws. The surface of the cross tip is flatter to improve engagement and reduce cam-out.
