Combined tip screwdriver

[wattsy]

Hi,

A mate of mine has got a screwdriver that has a cross head and a flat combined and it fits perfectly in the earth and neutral terminals in consumer units.

Does anyone know what these are called and who makes/sells them? He was given his so he doesn't know.

Thanks

I think you possibly mean modulo screwdrivers

They are also called plus minus, screws fixes sell them

There is no single universal name for this type of screwdriver. For example, CK ... Modulo. Wera and Klauke ...Plus/Minus. Wiha ... electric Xeno.

Got a pair of Wera plus minus. Whats the point? Every time i use em i always overtighten the bloddy screws!

Have the modulo think i have only ever used them once. Just use normal screwdrivers it's just normal habit.

Hi, new guy here. I was doing some searches and found this thread, and thought you might want to read this article:

Screwdrivers for switchgear « Precisiontools's Blog

I work in a shop in the US building motor control centers, and after five years there I read this article, and now I have a set of Wera PZ/S, and the shop has four sets of Wiha Xeno. Probably 60% of the screws we turn use these fasteners.

Cheers,

Then you need to switch to one of these babies..

But the thought of shelling out over £100 for a screwdriver, sends shivers down my spine :whatchutalkingabout
