JAKARTA, OCTOBER 2024, Removing or tightening components with a heavy torque moment clearly cannot rely solely on the fingertips. To achieve optimal results, it is certainly necessary to use tools such as wrenches or commonly referred to as Toolkits.

Manufacturers create toolkits not only to lighten the workload of mechanics and vehicle owners. Commonly used tools such as spark plug wrenches, combination wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, and many more are primarily aimed at avoiding fatal damage. That’s why each tool is created according to needs with different functions.

An example of a toolkit is a screwdriver, which generally comes in two types, namely a Phillips screwdriver (+) or a flathead screwdriver (-). Although the tips of the two screwdrivers are different, their functions are both to tighten and loosen screws with plus or minus heads.

In addition to the different screwdriver tip shapes, which are plus and minus, the tool also comes in various shapes. From long, short, large to small dimensions. All can be used according to their respective needs. For example, a long screwdriver is used for screws positioned deeper or farther away. Meanwhile, a short screwdriver is suitable for difficult or obstructed positions.

Not only the name and dimensions. It turns out that when using a screwdriver, most people also misinterpret it. For example, a small-headed screw is removed and installed using a larger screwdriver, or vice versa. As a result, the screw becomes stripped or the hole in the screw head gets damaged.

To prevent the screw head from easily stripping, it is recommended to use a flat or Phillips screwdriver that matches the dimensions of the hole in the screw head. This can be determined by the size of the diameter of the screw head and the screwdriver shaft.

For example, if the diameter of the screw head is 2 mm, then the screwdriver that must be used should have the same diameter. Because the sharp angle of the screwdriver tip with the hole in the screw will automatically fit.

If Daihatsu friends want to open a screw with a torque moment of more than 50 kilograms, it is impossible to use a regular screwdriver. However, you can use a Hammer screw or more commonly known as a impact screwdriver. Its function remains to remove screws. The difference is that the handle of the screwdriver is supported by an additional tool, which must be struck with a hammer to help turn the screwdriver in the screw head, understand?
