SPARKS, MD--(Marketwired - Jun 24, 2015) - GearWrench®, a premier hand tool brand known for tools that deliver speed, strength, and access to automotive technicians, today introduced its new Colored-Handle Screwdrivers. Available in orange or green as individual items or eight-piece sets, the new screwdrivers bring added depth to the GearWrench line.
"The colored handles really make these screwdrivers stand out from others, so it's easier for techs to identify their tools at the end of the day," said Jim Stewart, product manager for GearWrench. "We know our customers rely on GearWrench tools to get the job done efficiently and these new easy-to-identify handle colors will add to that."
In addition to their distinctive handles, these new screwdrivers have all the features found on other GearWrench screwdrivers, including a lifetime warranty. The Tri-Lobe ergonomic handle provides optimal strength and comfort. The dual material grip is oil and solvent resistant, enhancing durability over time. For fast turning in lower torque applications, a narrow "speed zone" section of the handle lets users spin the screwdriver more quickly. Each screwdriver also features a black oxide non-slip tip for precision turning.
The two new Colored-Handle Screwdriver sets each contain four Phillips and four Slotted screwdrivers and come packaged in a vacuum-formed tray with a clear plastic cover:
- Part # 82682: Orange Eight-piece Phillips/Slotted Screwdriver Set
