Tools are something that almost every person has had to use at one point or another and yet some of them don't work as well as they should; enter these Low Profile Screwdrivers. Designed by Snap-On and made in Japan, they are small and flat enough to wiggle into any narrow space that needs tightening.
Available with flat-head, #1 and #2 Phillips tips. the Snap-On Low Profile Screwdrivers are made out of a special steel alloy. Although smaller, Uncrate points out that they "allow for full engagement with the screw, as well as a tether hole to prevent drops, and a heat-treated contour handle for comfort." This ensures that people will want to continue using them for any number of projects.
