Gearwrench 2282D Slotted Screw Starter Screwdriver

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 2282D is a slotted screw starter screwdriver designed for precision fastener work in tight or hard-to-reach areas. The tool features a strong magnet on the tip end that holds screws securely during placement, eliminating the need to manually balance a fastener on the blade. A second magnet on the opposite end picks up dropped hardware. The chrome-plated steel body resists corrosion and provides durability in daily shop and field use. An integrated pocket clip keeps the tool accessible on the job. Overall length falls within the 3-inch to 6.9-inch range, with a 3/4-inch blade length suited for small slotted fasteners.

This screw starter is well suited for HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers who regularly work inside panels, cabinets, or confined mechanical spaces where starting a small slotted screw by hand is impractical. The easy-start design allows the user to simply twist the bit to seat the screw before driving, which reduces fumbling and speeds up repetitive fastening tasks. It is packaged as a single unit and is appropriate for both service van tool kits and bench use in light commercial and residential applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is a hand-use screwdriver and does not require power-down procedures prior to use on its own. When using any screwdriver near energized electrical components, follow applicable NEC guidelines and confirm circuits are de-energized before contact. Do not apply excessive lateral force to the blade, as screw starter blades are intended for light fastening tasks rather than heavy-torque driving.
