For Store Pickup Screwdrivers & Nutdrivers

Screwdrivers are one of the most useful tools and are an essential part of any tool box. Whether you're looking for a single screwdriver for fixing up items around the home or whether you need a vast array of screwdrivers for professional purposes, there are many different screwdrivers available to accommodate any need. Make sure you always have the right tool for the job with various hand tools and equipment to choose from.

Screwdriver Components

The most important part of a screwdriver is its blade type. Some common blade types are Phillips head, hexagon, square, Torx and flat-head blades. Before choosing a screwdriver, you must match the blade type to the screw or nut head to make sure it matches exactly. Using the wrong size screwdriver can result in damaging and stripping a screw head, making it difficult to remove.After you've matched the blade type to the type of screws and nuts you'll be using, consider the handle grip and shank material. A handle grip can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, rubber and wood, and should be able to withstand plenty of torque without warping or slipping. Most handles feature a contoured, grooved design to fit comfortably in hands and keep fingers secure. Choose screwdrivers with a shank that runs all the way through the handle for an extra damage-resistant design.

Manual or Powered Screwdrivers

Screwdrivers come in two main varieties - standard/manual and electric/powered. For ease of use, choose a powered screwdriver, which fits interchangeable bits to handle a variety of jobs. A powered screwdriver with a two-position handle allows in-line or pistol-grip handling to suit your preferences.

Screwdriver Sets

You can purchase a few types of screwdrivers for occasional repairs around the home or a screwdriver set for frequent use. Look for a screwdriver set that features color-coded handles to simplify tool identification.
