Wera 05008851001 Phillips No. 2 Short Blade Screwdriver

Product Description

The WERA 05008851001 is a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver built for tight, hard-to-reach fastening work. Its 54 mm (approximately 2.1 inches) blade is intentionally short to give technicians access in confined spaces where a full-length driver cannot fit. The round shank measures 1 inch in usable blade length from the handle ferrule. Wera Bit Technology hardens the blade tip while keeping a softer core, reducing cam-out and extending service life. The ergonomic handle incorporates hard and soft zones for a secure, comfortable grip during sustained use. Total tool weight is 0.07 pounds, making it suitable for overhead or one-handed work. Licensed HVAC techs, electricians, and plumbers will find this driver fits control board and panel fastener work efficiently.

This screwdriver is suited for residential and light commercial service applications where access is restricted. Short-blade Phillips drivers are commonly used when working inside electrical panels, HVAC control compartments, motor junction boxes, and plumbing valve assemblies. The compact shape allows the technician to engage fasteners in recessed or closely surrounded mounting points without removing adjacent components. The hexagonal anti-roll feature keeps the tool from rolling off surfaces during multi-step service procedures.

Installation Notes

This tool requires no installation. Before servicing any electrical panel, HVAC control board, or powered equipment, de-energize the circuit and verify lockout-tagout procedures are followed per applicable codes. Use the correct Phillips point size for the fastener to avoid stripping the drive recess. Inspect the blade tip periodically and replace the driver if tip geometry shows visible wear or rounding.
