This interchangeable screwdriver kit includes the following parts:
1. Each Chapman bit is designed for use within a specific torque range. Small bits are designed for less torque, large bits are designed for more torque. Chapman tools and bits are specifically engineered for hand use.
2. Chapman bits are tough and springy, not brittle. We use fine alloy steel heat treated with a black oxide finish. Each bit reaches its specified hardness that is not too hard to shatter nor too soft to twist.
3. Slotted bits have PARALLEL -not tapered- sides. This helps prevent damage or stripping of screws. Our smaller bits - CMS-3,4 & CM-88, 89, 90, etc. - are designed to prevent damage in applications where the screw is more valuable than the bit. When excess torque is applied, our bits are designed to break before marring an irreplaceable screw. If a screw is seated so tightly that the bit starts to bend, stop immediately as additional force will break the bit, mar the piece, or rip off the screw head.
4. Our famous Chapman Mini Ratchet provides approximately 4 times the leverage of a large screwdriver. The ratchet provides more torque than small screws are designed for, so use gentle but even pressure to loosen small screws. A small size bit can be twisted if sufficient force is applied. Use the knurled ends of our bits or the spinner top to apply finger pressure.
5. Some screws cannot be removed with a screwdriver. Cross-threaded, burred, chipped, varnished screws or screws treated with clear glue (especially on firearms) are near impossible to remove without tapping into the screw or applying heat.
"I needed something compact enough to fit in my box, yet have all the drivers I needed. I took a chance and purchased one of your 8900 kits. I have seen many other bit kits that people think are good enough to do the job- they never seem up to the task. These on the other hand aretop notch tools. I thank you for making a great product." - Jason
"The driver set I acquired has been a godsend in maintaining my Ruger Blackhawk and my Grandfather and Father's old Winchesters (68, 69, 1935, 1894, and a 9422). I couldn't be happier!"
