MCB/RCBO screwdriver

[Lucien Nunes]

I've got the Facom terminal screwdrivers, both Pozi/slotted and Philips/slotted but I don't use them that often. I don't find much advantage in terms of cam-out or maximum torque, compared to any other well made tip that fits the terminal screw correctly.

A couple of brands call them Borneo drivers which I assume is a play on the french for terminal. I get a sense of them being a solution for a non-existent problem. OTOH the traditional Steadfast terminal driver is a universal solution that fits almost every screw on the planet.

Decided against an electric torque screwdriver and have went for a new set of Klein drivers and ill look at buying the Klein SL/PZ2 driver to match.

Risky though when I've never held a Klein screwdriver before, might find i dont like them!

Anybody use them? I think they look like a decent driver.

Klein s are nice

I splurged on a Klein slotted for socket screws and it's a nice piece of kit... Seems to take abuse quite well too...

One major downside of PZ/S, or whatever people like to call it, it the fact that it needs to be oriented correctly. Of all the commonly used methods of driving screws, I think it's unique in this regard.

A flat head screwdriver also needs to be lined up

high time they converted to torx or hex.

It does, but there's no possibility of using it in the wrong orientation.

The point I'm making is that PZ/S will line up in 2 orientations - one which grips correctly and one which might cam out under reasonable torque.

I’ve seen some sparks use a PZ/S2 on pozi screws

There's also that.

A lot of people never got the idea of using PZ with PZ and PH with PH. Chances are they aren't going to make this distinction either.

I like PZ/S, but don't believe it was the best solution for nipping up screws to fairly high torque.
