Who it is for
Buyers and applications
Hardware wholesalers, DIY and grocery chains, promotional and gift programmes, and tool brands looking for an own-label handle.
The problem it answers
Why it exists
Own-label tool programmes fail on two things: a handle that looks like everybody else's, and a blade that rounds off a screw head on the second use. The handle is a moulding decision; the blade is a steel and hardening decision.
What you get: Each series here is a distinct handle moulding with its own colour break, so a programme can be visually separated from the shelf next to it, while the blade specification stays constant across the range.

Use guide
Match the tip to the fastener before applying torque - a Phillips driver in a Pozidriv screw is the most common cause of a rounded head. The magnetic tip holds the screw for one-handed starting.

Is the material compliant for the EU?
The catalogue states that all materials are PAH free and completely meet the RoHS standard. Send us the exact test scope you need and we will confirm what current certificates cover.
Can we have our own handle colour and logo?
Yes. The handle is a two-shot moulding, so colour is a material change rather than a tooling change. Logo on the handle needs a tool insert - tell us the annual quantity and we will quote it.
