Screw-Holding Screwdrivers


Standard Tip with Sleeve	Phillips
Standard Tip with Sleeve	Slotted

A holding feature at the tip of the tool ensures the screw won’t slip off.

Standard-tip screwdrivers have a sleeve that holds the screw head to start screws in hard-to-reach places. Once the screw is started, release the clamping sleeve and finish tightening. They have a cushion grip for comfort and some slip resistance.
