Vessel Tools 250S6150 Ball Grip Tang-Thru Screwdriver, Ceramic Ball, 6x150 Slotted

The Vessel Tools 250S6150 is a No.250 ball grip tang-thru screwdriver (demolition-type) with a 6 mm slotted tip and a 150 mm (6") shank. A built-in zirconia ceramic ball sits between the blade and the steel end cap. It blocks electricity from passing through to the cap, which adds a margin of safety on live-line jobs such as terminal blocks and switchboards.

Key Features:

• Tang-thru construction: The solid steel shank runs through the handle to a large steel end cap, so you can tap it with a hammer without damaging the handle.
• Zirconia ceramic ball: Zirconia has the highest strength, stiffness and abrasion resistance among ceramics. It blocks electricity from reaching the steel cap.
• Ergonomic ball grip: The palm-fitting handle lets you put body weight behind each turn for more torque. The cushion finger knurl allows quick turning and fine adjustment.
• Hardened chrome vanadium steel shank: Heat-treated for wear resistance, with a corrosion-resistant chrome-plated finish.
• Black point tip: The high-precision tip is magnetized to hold screws.
• Color-coded cushion grip: Makes it easy to identify the tip type.
