CHAMPION CH-1601003 NFB NEXT GEAR Non-Go-Through Slotted Screwdriver 3" (5.5 x 75 mm)

NEXT GEAR Non-Through Shank Slotted Screwdriver CHAMPION CH-1601003 NFB 3" Size 5.5 x 75 mm
High-quality non-through shank (Non-Thru-Tang) slotted screwdriver from the top-tier NEXT GEAR series by CHAMPION from Japan (Made in Japan). Structurally designed for general screw assembly and adjustment tasks that require high precision. The handle is made of a dual-material construction encased in a two-tone rubber grip (green and black, the signature color scheme denoting the slotted tip type). Ergonomically contoured to effectively increase palm contact area, delivering a soft touch, reducing fatigue, and preventing slippage when working around oil residues. The screwdriver shank is forged from special-grade alloy steel and fully hardened to withstand high torsional stress. The finely machined tip features a black coating (Black Point) to enhance fit precision in screw slots, reducing cam-out and tip deformation when tightening screws firmly. Thanks to the non-through shank design, the tool is lighter than striking models, making it ideal for electrical installations, conduit work, machine cover assembly, and general indoor and outdoor maintenance tasks.

Features
- Non-through shank (Non-Thru-Tang) structure reduces tool weight, providing maximum balance, control, and maneuverability for fine screw adjustments
