The Quick-Wedge 1734E Insulated Slot Screw-Holding Screwdriver is an essential hand tool designed to grip, start, and drive slotted screws in confined or hard-to-reach spaces. The split-blade design securely holds the screw in place, freeing up the operator's hands for faster and safer installations.
This insulated model features a protective red vinyl sleeve applied over the length of the blade. This sleeve is specifically designed to prevent accidental shorting against adjacent components when working near live electrical circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the red vinyl sleeve on the Quick-Wedge 1734E?
The red vinyl sleeve provides a layer of insulation along the blade to help prevent accidental electrical shorting when working in or near live circuits.
How does the screw-holding mechanism work?
The screwdriver features a sliding mechanism over a split blade. Pushing the mechanism forward expands the dual blade tips slightly inside the screw's slot, creating tension that firmly grips the screw before threading it into place.
