Product Overview
The Quick-Wedge 2354E is a highly specialized slotted screw-holding screwdriver engineered for electrical and electronic applications. Its unique split-blade design effectively wedges into the screw slot, securely gripping the fastener to allow for simple one-handed starting and driving in tight or hard-to-reach locations.
To enhance technician safety and equipment protection, the 2354E model features a protective red vinyl sleeve applied over the blade shaft. This insulation minimizes the risk of accidental grounding or shorting when working near "live" electrical circuits or exposed contacts.
Key Features
- Screw-Holding Split Blade: Firmly grasps slotted screws for single-handed operation in restrictive spaces.
- Vinyl-Insulated Shaft: Red sleeve covers the blade to prevent accidental shorts in sensitive equipment.
- Precision Tip: 1/4" (6.35 mm) width with a 0.042" (1.067 mm) tip thickness for exact fitment in standard slotted hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the Quick-Wedge screw-holding mechanism work?
A: The screwdriver features a split blade that slides against itself when the sliding mechanism is engaged. This expansion creates an outward wedging force against the walls of the screw slot, holding it securely in place until released.
Q: Is this screwdriver fully insulated for high-voltage work?
A: The 2354E includes a red vinyl sleeve to prevent accidental shorting across adjacent components; however, users should verify if specific ASTM/VDE voltage rating standards are required for their specific "live" work applications.
