Screw holding Screwdriver

[RDB85]

I may buy the Klein as it’s about the same price, plus you get 3 screwdrivers. The only thing I don’t like is that RS don’t list the model numbers.

My Klein ones came from Amazon for about £35 quid ish for the set of 3, next day too so no anxiety waiting for new tools

Google says the head of the flat bit is 6.4mm so with the screw holding function of it then it probably will do it but there might be a bit of play sideways.(assuming there’s room for the end to fit if fixing back detector heads or sounders)

I’ve just tried a few different m4s from the random bit box and there’s some variance in the slot width between manufacturers.
Using a standard 1/4 flat screwdriver bit, either a 7mm or 8mm flat bit would hold the m4 securely enough to hold it upside down without the screw falling off.

Actually, ignore the 7-8mm reference in my last post, I think that’s the width of the bit across rather than the slot size.
