Take a glance at Laser’s new five-piece “go thru” screwdriver set and you think you’re in the land of the giants; the shafts are three or four times longer than usual, with some pieces up to 450mm long.
These heavy-duty screwdrivers are specially built to sort out stubbornly locked or located screws.
Sometimes it’s tempting to clout your screwdriver to “shock” a locked-in screw loose, but the usual outcome is a damaged handle. With these tools (part number 5737), the shaft continues right through the handle so that when struck, all force is transmitted straight to the intended problem area; ideal if, for instance, you’re doing up an old vehicle and rusted parts need a little persuasion. The kit costs £45.60 plus VAT. More at lasertools.co.uk
