Practical tips for best results
- Inspect the screw head for wear before use—jagged edges can reduce engagement and cause cam-out.
- Apply steady, controlled torque to avoid stripping the tamper-proof profile. If resistance is high, back the screw out gently and re-engage.
- Store with the tip protected to maintain the 2.5 mm profile and extend tool life.
- Use with a non-impact driver to preserve tip geometry; reserve impact-rated drivers for appropriate bits only.
