Choosing and specifying this item

With a slotted driver the tip width is the fit, and everything else is secondary. At 6.5 mm across the tip this one is aimed at general-purpose slotted heads rather than terminal screws.

Width and thickness together

A blade narrower than the slot bears on a small part of it and burrs both blade and screw; a blade wider than the head overhangs and marks the surrounding finish, which shows badly on a switch plate or an escutcheon. Tip thickness decides whether the blade enters at all — if you are specifying against a fastener drawing, ask for the tip thickness as well as the width.

125 mm against its neighbours

It shares the 6.5 mm tip with the 150 mm blade in this range but gives up reach for control: a shorter shaft flexes less under torque and stays aligned more easily, so it is the everyday choice wherever the screw is accessible. Step up to 150 mm only when the shorter blade genuinely cannot clear ductwork, tray or an enclosure wall.

Worth clarifying

The listing carries a 6 mm diameter alongside the 125 × 6.5 mm blade — ask us whether that describes the shank or the grip before you match it to a tool roll or a torque expectation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I pick the right blade width for a slotted screw?

The blade should fill the slot across its full length and sit down in it without rocking, and it should not be wider than the screw head. Too narrow and the load concentrates on part of the slot and burrs it; too wide and you scar the surface around the screw. If you are working to a drawing, ask for the tip thickness too, since that decides entry.

Should we hold the 125 mm or the 150 mm blade in the same tip width?

Take 125 mm as the standard and 150 mm as the reach tool. Both carry the same 6.5 mm tip, so coverage of the fastener is identical; what changes is shaft length. The shorter shaft flexes less, stays aligned more easily and is quicker to control, so it is better for everyday accessible work. Keep a few of the longer ones for obstructed positions.

Is it acceptable to use a slotted screwdriver as a small chisel or pry bar?

No, and it is the most common way these tools are destroyed. Levering bends the shaft, and a bent shaft never runs true in a slot again; striking the tip chips the hardened edge. Use a proper chisel, scraper or pry bar for those jobs and keep the driver for fasteners — it costs far less than the screw heads a damaged blade will ruin.

Where do slotted screws still turn up in MEP work?

Constantly: terminal and clamp screws in control gear, gland and cable-cleat fixings, older accessory plates, valve and actuator covers, equipment nameplates and legacy plant. Cross recesses dominate new installation work, but maintenance crews meet slotted heads throughout an existing building, which is why a small range of widths belongs in every maintenance store.
