Hardware Laboratory – Part 5: Mechanical Tools
The Hardware Laboratory needs to include a variety of mechanical tools, allowing the young hobbyist or experienced professional to create their own prototypes with easy.
In the Previous Topic, We have pointed some hints and tips – that give the young hobbyists Some lead and Pull up them in their searchings.
The Theme: Hardware Laboratory is logical to Continue and in today’s topic.
We have already described a variety of useful instruments and tools like cutters, knives, antimagnetic tweezers, pliers, etc.
Today, we are going to continue with the variety of screwdrivers – types and sizes.
The screwdrivers are classified by its tip. Namely, it’s shape is the theme of our Today discussion.
PIC. 1 The “Golden” Slot Screw isn’t been so “Golden”

Today using screws have a Co-Variation from the pioneer’s common principals with small differences in the head’s socket shape. Their Related Screwdrivers have a compatible, with the same shape tips.
The Screwdrivers can be divided some groups by their typical application:
- Monolithic Screwdrivers – created as 1 part.
- Set with many parts – Bit Oriented ScrewDrivers – One Handle with many pieces named: “BITs”, with different shape of their tip and hexagonal shape with 7mm (external diameter) tail.
- Very Hard Tip “BITs” for heavy-load usage – in building.
- Large Necks Screwdrivers.
- Heavy-Duty Screwdrivers – Hammer Impact resistant.
