Setup and Assembly

The OEMTOOLS 22588 screwdriver is designed for quick and easy bit changes. To access or change bits:

  1. Grip the handle firmly and pull the metal shaft away from the handle to separate it.
  2. The shaft contains several double-ended bits. Pull out the desired bit from either end of the shaft.
  3. To use a nut driver, remove the bit from the shaft. The shaft itself functions as a nut driver. The shaft can be inserted into the handle in two orientations to provide 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver sizes. The 3/8" nut driver size is available by removing the shaft from the handle and using the handle's internal hex opening.
  4. Insert the desired bit into the end of the shaft. Ensure it is fully seated for secure retention.
  5. Reinsert the shaft into the handle until it clicks securely into place.

Operating Instructions

To use the screwdriver, select the appropriate bit or nut driver size for your fastener. Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the shaft and the shaft is securely seated in the handle. Apply firm, steady pressure and turn clockwise to tighten or counter-clockwise to loosen. For the Schrader valve tool, use the specialized bit for core removal or insertion as needed for tire maintenance.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your OEMTOOLS 22588 screwdriver, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the handle and metal shaft with a clean, dry cloth after each use. For stubborn grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough drying. Avoid harsh solvents on the acetate handle.
  • Storage: Store the screwdriver in a dry environment to prevent rust on the metal components. Keep all bits securely within the shaft or in a designated storage area to prevent loss.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the bits for wear or damage. Replace worn bits to maintain optimal fastening performance and prevent damage to fasteners.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your OEMTOOLS 22588 screwdriver, consider the following:

  • Bit Slipping: Ensure the correct bit size and type are selected for the fastener. Verify the bit is fully seated in the shaft and the shaft is locked into the handle. Worn bits can also cause slipping and should be replaced.
  • Difficulty Changing Bits/Shaft: Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the metal-on-metal contact points if necessary, but avoid over-lubrication.
  • Stripping Fasteners: This often indicates an incorrect bit size, excessive force, or a worn bit. Always match the bit to the fastener and apply appropriate torque.
