EIGHT-PIECE EXTRA-LONG-REACH SCREWDRIVER SET £42.67
Sometimes you just need a little extra length. Moreover, sometimes you just need the right tool for the job, and as such you really can’t have too many screwdrivers at your disposal. This set of eight extra-long-reach screwdrivers feature soft-grip handles, black magnetic tips and strong chrome vanadium steel shafts, particularly useful for reaching restricted-access fixings. The sizes included are PzDrive: Pz1, Pz2; Phillips: Ph0, Ph1, Ph2; and flat: 5.5, 6.5, 8mm. All the drivers have a 325mm shaft which lets you easily reach screws deep in the engine bay, or under the dashboard. You’ll find the strong polypropylene handles comfortable to use and the thermoplastic rubber (TPR) inserts offer excellent grip. Magnetic tips grip the screws securely for safe retrieval, which is handy. Part no: 56149. kamasa.co.uk
