AmTech Screwdrivers

When selecting screwdrivers, it's essential to match the screwdriver type with the screws you'll be using. Phillips and flathead are the most common types, but you may also encounter Torx, hex, or Pozidriv screws depending on your project. For instance, Torx screwdrivers are ideal for electronics and automotive work due to their star-shaped pattern, which provides better grip and reduces slippage. Ensuring you have the correct type can prevent damage to both the screw and the tool.

The handle design significantly affects how comfortable and efficient your work will be. Look for screwdrivers with ergonomic handles that fit comfortably in your hand, reducing strain during extended use. Rubberized or textured grips can enhance control, especially when working in oily or wet conditions. Cushion-grip handles are particularly useful if you need to apply extra torque without slipping.
