Carlyle Insulated screwdriver PH 3 x 152mm (SDPI36)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. SDPI36

The SDPI36 from Carlyle is a large insulated Phillips screwdriver: PH 3 tip, 152mm shaft. It is for the bigger cross-head screws that hold battery trays, relay brackets, electrical panels and housings, where the long reach helps and the 1,000 V AC/DC insulation covers you if the tip touches a live part.

Good to know

• When is PH 3 the right size? On large cross-head screws where a smaller tip would rattle about in the cross; it is too big for most interior trim and small switch screws.
• How do I stop it slipping on a tight screw? Push firmly into the head while you turn, keep the shaft in line with the screw, and use penetrating oil on rusted ones rather than leaning harder.
• What does the insulation not cover? The bare metal tip is still exposed, so keep it away from other terminals and disconnect the battery before working near the main feed cables.

Which one?

For smaller cross-head screws choose the PH 1 x 80mm (SDPI13); for large slotted heads the SL 8 x 200mm (SDSI107) gives even more reach. Insulated sockets come in the Carlyle 20 Piece 1/2in Drive Insulated Socket Set VDE (NCEH020S).
