long screwdriver

Common tip types include Phillips, slotted (flathead), and Torx; examples shown include Phillips #1 and #2, slotted 5.5 mm, and Torx T9–T30.

Look for ergonomic cushion grips, dual‑durometer or rubber‑coated handles for comfort and torque transfer, proportionate handle‑to‑blade sizing, and parallel flats to prevent roll‑off.

Many listings show magnetic or magnetized tips to help pick up and hold screws; some sets also include a magnetizer/demagnetizer or magnetized heads.

Some long screwdrivers store multiple bits inside the handle for quick access; listings include multi‑bit handles that hold several bits (for example, eight) and specify the included bit types.

Listings mention chrome plating or chrome‑plated satin finishes on shafts to provide corrosion resistance and a wear‑resistant surface.

Sets often pair a Phillips and a slotted screwdriver and list shaft lengths with tip sizes—for example, Phillips #2 x 100 mm and Slotted 8.0 mm x 150 mm; some two‑piece sets list 12‑inch shaft lengths.

Sellers use the phrase “overall length” or explicit length values to indicate total tool length—for example, “overall length of 8 1/2 in.” and “Overall length is 28.5 cm (11.2 inches).”

Common extras shown are multiple bits (including double‑sided bits), quick‑change or hex bit holders, and included magnetizer/demagnetizer tools in some sets.
