Faithfull Ratchet Screwdriver Set — 13 Piece

Price: £13.97 inc VAT

A versatile 13-piece ratchet screwdriver set ideal for electricians, plumbers, and multi-trade contractors who need speed without switching hands. The ratchet mechanism drives screws in tight spaces and awkward back-boxes without lifting and repositioning the driver. Includes a full range of slotted, Pozidriv, Phillips, and hex bit accessories stored in a compact carry case. The soft-grip handle reduces hand fatigue on heavy fixing days. At £13.97 this is outstanding value for a set that covers virtually every screwdriving task on a domestic job.

• Ratchet mechanism for fast, one-handed driving
• 13-piece: slotted, PZ, PH, and hex bits
• Soft-grip handle — reduced fatigue
• Compact case for van storage

Faithfull Precision Screwdriver Set — 7 Piece

Price: £7.80 inc VAT

This compact 7-piece precision screwdriver set handles the fiddly small-screw work that full-size drivers simply can't reach. Ideal for electricians tightening terminal screws in distribution boards, wiring accessories, and consumer units, as well as for plumbers working on thermostat and controller terminals. The knurled handles give fine control for delicate torque, and the set covers slotted, Phillips, and Torx profiles so you're covered for modern smart-home device fixings too. Lightweight and slimline — keeps a corner of the tool roll without bulk.

• 7-piece precision set: slotted, Phillips, Torx
• Knurled handles for fine torque control
• Perfect for terminal screws and wiring accessories
• Lightweight and compact — great for tool rolls

Faithfull Soft-Grip Pozidriv 2 Screwdriver — 150mm

Price: £4.99 inc VAT

Sometimes you just need a quality individual Pozidriv 2 driver — the single most-used screwdriver profile in UK electrical installation. This Faithfull PZ2 150mm features a tri-lobe soft-grip handle for maximum torque transfer with minimal hand fatigue, and a hardened steel tip that resists rounding on tough fixings. The 150mm blade length is long enough to reach into back-boxes and reach over cable bends, without being unwieldy in a socket outlet. A solid choice as a dedicated driver to keep clipped in the belt pouch for a whole day's socket or switch installation.

• Pozidriv PZ2 — most common profile in UK electrical install
• 150mm blade — ideal for back-box and socket work
• Tri-lobe soft-grip handle for torque and comfort
• Hardened steel tip — resists rounding

Choosing the Right Faithfull Screwdriver Set

For electricians doing live or live-adjacent work — the VDE 13pc interchangeable set (£29.99) is non-negotiable. BS 7671 (18th Edition) and IET guidance require 1000V-rated insulated tools wherever there is a risk of contact with live conductors.

For fast general installation — the ratchet 13pc set (£13.97) speeds up first and second fix considerably. Driving screws into consumer unit knock-outs, back-boxes, and trunking lids is much faster with a ratchet handle than a conventional driver.

For terminal and control-gear work — the precision 7pc set (£7.80) handles miniature screws in MCB terminals, smart thermostats, and wiring centres. These are the screws that a full-size PZ2 will damage if over-torqued.

As a belt-clip everyday driver — the PZ2 150mm soft-grip (£4.99) is a cost-effective workhorse for any tradesperson who goes through drivers regularly or wants a dedicated spare on the van.

VDE Screwdrivers and UK Regulations

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, anyone working on or near live electrical conductors must use appropriately insulated tools. For screwdrivers this means VDE certification to BS EN 60900 (IEC 60900), which covers insulation rated to 1000V AC and 1500V DC. Faithfull's VDE sets are individually tested and carry the VDE mark — accepted by NICEIC, NAPIT, and SELECT auditors as compliant insulated tooling.
