I. Common mistakes when using screwdrivers
1. Using the wrong type of screw head :
Failure to use a screw head that is appropriate for the size and type of screw may damage or strip the screw head, causing danger to the user and damage to the material being disassembled.
❖ Solution:
The screw head must be selected to match the size and type of screw to be removed to avoid damaging the screw head or stripping the screw core. If unsure about the size and type of screw head, users should use a multi-purpose screw head set to avoid having to buy many different types of screw heads.
2. Not checking the screwdriver before use :
When the screwdriver is used repeatedly, the screwdriver tip may become worn or damaged, so it cannot work effectively. If a damaged screwdriver tip is used, it may damage the screw or nut when used.
❖ Solution :
To avoid this, you should check the screwdriver before using it. If the screwdriver is worn or damaged, replace it with a new screwdriver or a new screwdriver head to ensure safety and efficiency.

3. Improper use :
You may use the screwdriver incorrectly, such as turning it in the wrong direction, and the screw or nut may lose its precision or become damaged.
❖ Solution :
When using a screwdriver, you should follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper use.
4. Using inappropriate force :
To ensure that the screw or nut is tightened properly, you need to use the screwdriver with the required force. If too much force is used, it may damage the nut or screw, reducing the accuracy of the product. However, if too little force is used, the screw or nut is not tightened enough, resulting in an unresolved error or a safety hazard.
❖ Solution :
When tightening or turning the screwdriver, you should use a moderate force, just enough to be able to remove or install the screw head. The level of tightening force for screws or bolts is usually specified in the product's instruction manual or calculated using an appropriate formula. In cases where a large force is required to remove or install materials, users should use hand tools that can adjust the torque, or use a screw head with a long handle to increase rotation ability.

5. Not safe :
Using a screwdriver can be dangerous if safety precautions are not followed. For example, not wearing protective eyewear when using a screwdriver, or not being careful when using this tool near sensitive equipment or in potentially explosive environments.
❖ Solution :
Use protective equipment: To ensure safety when using a screwdriver, you should use protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and protective clothing to protect your eyes and hands when using a screwdriver.
