Electrical Line RSS Feed IDEAL Quick Change Screwdriver Eliminates Magnetic Debris Pick-up & Dropped Bits

    Multi-bit screwdrivers provide a wide range of fastening solutions in one simple tool. However, most designs depend upon unreliable magnetics to hold bits in place, resulting in dropped or lost bits, as well as metal debris being drawn inside the socket, further compromising holding power.

    To combat this problem, IDEAL introduces its new Quick Change Screwdriver with the patented Sure-Loc™ Quick Change chuck that eliminates magnetic debris pick-up and dropped bits. Mechanically snap into place both insert and power type bits without magnetics or requiring the user to pull back its collar. To release a bit, simply pull back the knurled collar. When empty, the socket can be used as a 1/4-inch nutdriver.

    Another valuable advantage of the screwdriver is its E-Z Spin™ high torque cap. It rotates smoothly for precise turning and control. In addition, it has a handy flip cap that gives fast access to the built-in bit storage cavity that holds up to five extra Insert bits.

    Like all IDEAL hand tools, the Quick Change Screwdriver is as durable as it is useful. The driver shaft has been coated in black oxide for superior corrosion resistance, and heat treated for optimum strength. Its ergonomic handle features rugged cellulose acetate that increases durability while reducing slippage.

    The IDEAL Quick Change Screwdriver Set (#35-933) includes a bit block containing 32 of the most commonly used tamper-proof bits. The block (#35-933TP) is also sold separately, as is a 32 piece standard bit block (#35-933STD), containing the IDEAL exclusive Combo Head™ bit.

      Electro-Federation Canada (EFC) regrettably announces the closure of its Canadian Appliance Manufacturers Association (CAMA) council effective June 30th, 2012.

      This closure is a direct result of the Washington D.C. based Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) opening a Canadian branch office targeted for July 1st, 2012. Due to AHAM’s expansion into Canada, this has resulted in many CAMA members resigning from EFC despite a long-standing relationship. EFC will continue to serve the remaining CAMA members through December 31st, 2012 through its Consumer Electronics Marketers of Canada (CEMC) Council and its other functional hub resources. EFC will also explore the possibility of service beyond year-end 2012 under a Consumer Council banner. CAMA has provided services to...

      The Organization of CANDU Industries (OCI) congratulates CANDU Energy Inc. on the successful completion of the Phase 2 Design Review for the Enhanced CANDU 6 (EC6) reactor. This important milestone for the EC6 design demonstrates that Canada has a market-ready Generation III reactor technology poised to continue the CANDU tradition of 11 previous CANDU 6 reactors that have earned an outstanding track record of performance and safety. The Enhanced CANDU 6 design is well suited to be the reactor of choice for Ontario's Darlington site. Just last week the Government of Canada announced its acceptance of the recommendations from a Federal Joint Review Panel on the environmental acceptability of the Darlington new nuclear project.
