SYCAMORE, IL, -- Fastening screws into tight, hard-to-reach places is a challenge. Unfortunately, most screw-holding screwdrivers on the market today are poorly designed or difficult to use. To help contractors, electricians and auto mechanics with this task, IDEAL has introduced a professional-grade screwdriver featuring its new Grip-n-Twist(TM) screw-holding mechanism. This spring-action locking system engages and disengages screws with a simple thumb movement, letting the user set, start and then tightly fasten a screw with one-handed ease. Besides delivering speed, security and greater torque, the thermo-plastic Grip-a-Twist runs the entire length of the 7" tempered steel shaft for improved durability.
