Are you confused to select the hand Screwdriver?
To select a screwdriver actually easy, but if we do not consider a few things, then we will be disappointed with our choice. In addition to adjust the type of screw that we will use (slotted or Phillips head screw). There are a few tips you should note.

I think this is important, because if we want to use a hand screwdriver, we need to find a screwdriver to be convenient for us to use it. From my personal experience, if you use a screwdriver that does not have a good hand grip, we can make our own hand injury and a blister or even injured.
This is caused by the skin of our hands are not able to withstand the burden of work due to the use of a hand grip that hard or bad design.

At the present time, the new design of the screwdriver has been used the rubber for material grip of the screwdriver. So you can choose which one feels most comfortable be by your hands.

The second things to be concern is how long screwdriver tip that you will buy ?
In general design, the standard size of the screwdriver’s tip is about 20 cm long.
The longer the size of a hand screwdriver will give you a light work load for your hands, but should also consider if you work in the area that is quite narrow.
Of course, a long screwdriver will make you work   a little bit difficult.

More longer screwdriver that you have, it will provide a light work load for your hands, but should also consider if you work in a narrow area.
Of course, a long screwdriver will make the work a bit difficult.

So choose that suit to your needs.
As the example below there are some that I feel good enough to you to have.
But to the best option that suit to your needs, the best choice is in your hands.

A screw is a shaft with a helical groove or thread formed on its surface and provision at one end to turn the screw , a screw has a head with a contour such that an appropriate screwdriver tip can be engaged in it in such a way that the application of sufficient torque to the screwdriver will cause the screw to rotate.

The screwdriver comprises a head or tip which engages with a screw, a mechanism to apply torque. This is how hard the drill or tools can twist. Generally, the higher the torque the better it will perform.

In physics, torque can informally be thought of as “rotational force”….

By rotating the tip, and some way to position and support the screwdriver. A typical hand screwdriver comprises an approximately cylindrical handle of a size and shape to be held by a human hand, and an axial shaft.
