What is included in the PB 8244 screwdriver set?
This is a six-piece fixed-driver set: four PB 8100 slotted screwdrivers in sizes 1 through 4, plus PB 8190 Phillips drivers in PH1 and PH2. The set also includes a wall holder, keeping the assortment together for workshop storage.
Are the PB 8244 screwdriver tips sized accurately?
The product listing describes precise, true-to-size tips intended to fit screw heads correctly. The handles are color coded by screw type for quicker identification. Because these are fixed screwdrivers for slotted and Phillips screws, select the correct profile and size rather than treating them as interchangeable bits.
What are the SwissGrip handles designed to provide?
The PB 8244 uses a convex, two-component SwissGrip handle with a soft surface. The listed design goals are a comfortable grip and high torque transmission, while the handle materials are described as resistant to solvents, oils, acids and salts. That documents material resistance, not unlimited suitability for every chemical exposure.
What are the PB 8244 blades made from, and can they be traced?
The set uses a special alloy based on spring steel, described as combining high elasticity with hardening or high hardness. The product information also identifies laser-marked serial numbers, which support tool traceability. The listing identifies the set as 100% made in Switzerland.
What warranty is listed for the PB 8244?
The PB Tools US listing states that PB Swiss Tools hand tools carry a lifetime guarantee and specifically excludes torque tools, which have a separate three-year warranty. The PB 8244 is presented as a fixed screwdriver set rather than a torque tool, and Haus of Tools also lists a lifetime guarantee for this part number. Check the current distributor terms for claim requirements.
