    Image of Product. Front orientation. Screw Starters. Tight-Clearance Screw Starters.
    The slim body reaches into tight spots to grip and turn screws. Use the magnet at the end of the handle to retrieve dropped fasteners. Screw starters are not intended for final tightening or removal of fasteners.
    Wedge Tip—Starters with wedge tip fit a variety of drive styles. Push the sleeve on the handle forward and insert the tip into screw head. Pull the sleeve back and the tip splits to hold the screw firmly. Once threads are started, the tool releases the screw.
    Twist Tip—Starters with twist tip secure in the screw head by pushing and turning the tool. As the fastener is tightened, the starter tip releases.

    Screw Starters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Screw Starters. Screw Starters.
    Grip and turn screws that are too small to hold by hand or located in hard-to-reach spots. These screw starters grab onto the recesses of the screw and hold more securely than a magnetic screwdriver. However, they’re not intended for final tightening or removal of fasteners.
    Wedge Tip—Push the sleeve on the handle forward and insert the wedge tip into the screw slot. Release the sleeve and the tip splits and pushes out to hold the screw firmly.

    Wedge Tip

    When you've only got one free hand to fasten, reach for these screwdrivers. They're useful when working in tight spaces or above crevices that screws could slip into.
    Premium—The best screwdrivers available, with tips machined to tight tolerances for the tightest possible fit in fastener recesses. The snug fit means they'll turn screws quickly without wearing screw heads and the driver's tip.
    Standard Length—The most common screwdriver length for a specific drive size.
    Long—An extended shaft turns screws in deep recesses other screwdrivers can't reach.
    Sleeve—Designed to hold screws firmly against the tip of the screwdriver. The spring-loaded sleeve slides over a screw head and locks it in place. Once you’ve lined up the screw, release it with a button on the shaft before tightening.
    Ball Detent and Wedge Tip—Create just enough friction inside the recess to keep the screw from dropping.
