    These sets include an adjustable torque driver, bits for different drive styles, and a socket adapter. To adjust torque, remove the black vinyl end cap and turn the attached adjustment key. When set torque is reached, the driver slips to disengage and stop turning the fastener, preventing overtightening. Sets come with a calibration certificate that states the product has passed a test for accuracy.
    Note: Accuracy ratings do not apply to the lower 20% of the torque range.

    Tight-Clearance Flexible Bit Screwdrivers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Screwdrivers. Tight-Clearance Flexible Bit Screwdrivers.
    A flexible shaft bends around obstacles to access screws in hard-to-reach places. These screwdrivers snake into compact machinery where a rigid tool wouldn't fit. However, they may wobble if you crank them too hard. Attach a bit (not included) to drive a variety of screws with a single tool.
    Quick-Change Chuck—Holds bits more securely than a magnet, so they don't accidently slip off. Pull back the chuck to insert a bit; push the chuck forward to lock the bit in place.
    Ultra Grip—Designed for maximum comfort and control. The soft plastic coating and contoured shape reduce strain to prevent cramping and soreness during repetitive tasks. They also guarantee a secure grip.

    An extra-long shaft reaches into spots where others come up short. Use these T-handle keys to tighten and loosen screws tucked deep in machinery. They have a wide grip for maximum leverage and control.
    If the tip snaps off or wears down over time, replace it with a fresh one.
    Steel—Our strongest, most wear-resistant T-handle keys. Steel is best for dry environments, since moisture will cause it to rust.
    Cushion Grip—Avoid sore, blistered fingers when completing lengthy projects. These handles have a plastic coating that absorbs pressure for extra comfort.

    Eliminate the need for multiple bulky tools with these bit adapters. At less than 3 inches long, these compact adapters convert 1/4" bit screwdriver handles and 1/4" bits into torque screwdrivers so you can fasten to a specific torque. Insert your drive handle and turn clockwise until the hash marks line up with the torque value you need. Not for use with power tools.
