CHAMPION CH-1701003 140 KBW Go-Through Slotted Screwdriver Wood-Composite ABS Handle 3"

Wood-Composite ABS Handle Go-Through Slotted Screwdriver CHAMPION CH-1701003 140 KBW, 3-inch shaft length
Premium go-through slotted screwdriver / striking screwdriver from CHAMPION, Japan (Made in Japan). Features an innovative handle made from a special wood-plastic composite (ABS blended with wood powder) that combines the high impact toughness of ABS plastic with the oil-absorbing and non-slip tactile qualities of natural wood. This allows technicians to maintain maximum gripping stability without slipping, even with oily, greasy, or sweaty hands during heavy-duty work. The screwdriver is engineered according to international standards for striking applications. A one-piece steel shank extends straight through the center of the handle to the metal striking cap at the end, allowing a steel hammer to strike the handle cap and drive force directly to the tip to quickly loosen seized, rusted screws or chisel surfaces. The striking impact will not cause the wood-composite handle to crack or chip. The shank is made of fully hardened special grade alloy steel with a black oxide finish to prevent rust, making it suitable for heavy-duty work in automotive shops, industrial plants, craftsmanship, and general structural jobs.

Features
- Go-through / thru-tang steel shaft design capped with a metal striking plate, allowing hammer strikes to safely loosen seized screws.
- Handle made from a special 20% wood-composite ABS material, providing a natural, firm grip and oil-absorbing surface properties to prevent slipping.
- Screwdriver shaft made of Japanese special alloy steel, fully hardened for maximum strength and high torsion resistance to prevent bending.
- Black oxide finish on the steel shaft enhances resistance against rust and chemical stains while reducing glare during work.
- The slotted tip features sharp, precision-ground edges complying with Japanese standard dimensions, seating firmly and fully into flat screw slots to reduce slippage and cam-out damage to screw heads.
- Classic rounded-square handle profile provides an optimal locking position for fingers and palms, effectively delivering full torque and downforce from the wrist.
- 3-inch (75 mm) shank length offers a compact size, comfortable hand-feel weight, and superb balance, ideal for tool bags and driving screws in tight spaces.
- 100% Made in Japan under registered patent (PAT. NO. 755834), guaranteeing world-class industrial-grade tool standards.

Applications
- Automotive and engine repair workshops: ideal for tightening, loosening, and striking slotted screws on cylinder blocks, valve covers, or underbodies frequently covered in grease and stubborn rust.
- Heavy industrial machinery maintenance: ideal for scraping adhesive residues, old gaskets, or impact-starting tight screws in production lines exposed to oil and moisture.
- Field and general mechanical work: suited for steel structure fabricators, shipbuilders, or construction workers requiring a versatile screwdriver that withstands sun and rain and can double as a light strike chisel.
