Using DCD-SND.12 – Screw and Nut Driver SetThree Handles, Three essential (-) type screwdriver tips, 3essential (+) type screwdriver tips and 3 important Nut Drivers for use withmodel railways and similar hobbies.Have you ever wondered why some modellers keep using thesame tools, year in, year out, while others always seem to need to buyreplacements?This usually happens because with ALL tools,there is a“right or wrong” way to use them to make sure they last!The HandlesThey are made from tough alloys and have been anodised toprevent corrosion. They will rarely ever wear out, but basic care will keepthem in perfect condition.Wipe them down after use, especially if you are soldering orusing them near strong chemicals.Oil the rotating “Palm Pad” occasionally so that it rotateseasily when you are removing and tightening screws.The TipsAll of our Screwdriver and Nut Driver tips are hardened, butexcessive force OR using the wrong size tip for the job you are doing can stillcause wear or damage them.Choose the correct size tip carefully: This is importantbecause the screws and nuts in today’s models are NOT usually hardened. Whilethe screwdriver tip MAY not be damaged if you do not match the screw and thedriver tip you choose, the screw itself will very often be quite badly damagedby any significant mis-matching.Pack contents:

Making the ChoiceNut Drivers should fit the Nut smoothly with NO slop. Anyslop will almost certainly cause Driver or Nut damage.Blade-type tips must NOT be too small and “sloppy” in thescrew head. This will chew out the centre of the screw and the under-sizeddriver tip may also be damaged.Cross-type tips must NOT be significantly smaller than thescrew-head. This will damage the screw and may also allow too much leverage,damaging the too-small tip.Cross-type tips must NOT be significantly larger than thescrew-head recess. This will badly damage a screw-head quite quickly, making itimpossible to remove it.
