CHAMPION NEXT GEAR Non-Through Shank Phillips Screwdriver CH-1602003 NFB 3" PH #1 (5.5 x 75 mm)

NEXT GEAR Non-Through Screwdriver, Phillips CHAMPION CH-1602003 NFB 3" PH #1 Size 5.5 x 75 mm
An industrial-grade non-through-tang Phillips screwdriver from the premium NEXT GEAR series by CHAMPION, Made in Japan. Delicately designed for tightening, assembling, adjusting, or repairing general Phillips screws that require high precision and agile handling. This model is lighter than the through-tang series. The handle is made of a two-layer, two-tone soft grip (orange-black, representing the brand's Phillips type indicator) with an ergonomic contoured design that fits perfectly in the palm, reducing fatigue and preventing slippage during operation. The screwdriver shank is made of special alloy steel, fully hardened for extreme strength and durability. The precision-machined PH #1 Phillips tip features a black coating (Black Point) that ensures a tight, stable fit into screw recesses, reducing cam-out and stripping. The handle end is covered with a smooth, rounded surface that allows your palm to apply pushing force comfortably. Ideal for electrical work, appliance assembly, fastening in tight spaces, and general maintenance tasks that do not require hammer striking.

Features
- Non-thru-tang steel shank structure makes the tool exceptionally lightweight, reducing fatigue during continuous or overhead use.
- Screwdriver shank made of high-quality Japanese special alloy steel, fully hardened to deliver high torsional strength without bending or twisting.
- Precision-machined PH #1 Phillips tip with a Black Point coating enhances grip in the screw recess and prevents slipping and cam-out.
- Next Gear handle technology features a two-tone orange and black soft grip rubber layer with a thick, soft texture for a secure grip that won't slip even when contaminated with sweat or oil.
- Ergonomically contoured handle shape increases the contact area with the palm, fully transmitting torque from the wrist and arm to the screw tip.
- The end of the handle is capped with a smooth, rounded plastic surface without a metal cap, allowing the palm to gently apply initial tightening pressure without pain.
- Steel shank diameter 5.5 mm with a shank length of 75 mm (3 inches), compact and highly agile, ideal for portability and working in tight spaces
- 100% Made in Japan under strict quality control standards for safety and durability in professional job sites.
- The shank is firmly embedded within the thick plastic handle; strictly do not strike the end of the handle with a hammer, as it is not designed as an impact screwdriver.

Applications
- Assembly and repair of electrical appliances; ideal for fastening No. 1 Phillips screws in electronic devices, air conditioner covers, computers, or washing machines
- Electrical wiring and control panel work: Used for connecting wires, tightening switch terminals, or mounting DIN rail devices in circuit panels where impact force is not required.
- General home and building maintenance: Ideal as a toolbox staple for assembling shelving units, toys, or repairing general spring latches.
