Screwdriver set guide: types, bits and STALCO options at Saniso

A screwdriver set covers the most common screw profiles – slotted, Phillips (PH), Pozidriv (PZ) and Torx – in one go. Add specialist screwdrivers such as precision, insulated or bit sets for specific jobs. Below we explain the profiles and the STALCO options at Saniso.

The parent category holds a large STALCO screwdriver listing (166 SKUs on snapshot) plus a separate two-SKU extractor path. Prices below are a snapshot (2026-09-22 CEST, incl. 21% VAT). Always check the live PDP.

Which screw profiles exist?

Match the tip to the fastener head — the wrong profile cams out and damages both bit and screw.

Flat / slot (SL)

Single slot. Common on older fittings and some electrical terminals. Easy to slip if the blade is too wide or too narrow.

Phillips (PH)

Cross recess (PH0–PH3 on Saniso). Widely used in DIY and light assembly; not the same as Pozidriv.

Pozidriv (PZ)

Cross recess with extra ribs (PZ). Common in construction/joinery hardware. Do not mix PH tips into PZ screws.

Torx (T) — including Torx with hole

Star drive (e.g. T6–T40). Higher torque transfer than Phillips for many modern assemblies. Saniso also lists Torx with hole (security/tamper style) as a separate tip family.

Set or single screwdriver?

Compact sets (5–9 pieces)

Good starter kits for SL + PH (sometimes more). Example everyday set: 8-piece STALCO set S010812100 (S2, SL + PH, magnetic tips) — snapshot ~€18.95 incl. VAT. Smaller CrV sets exist too (e.g. 5-piece S010812080).

Larger sets (bits included)

When you need many profiles in one case, look at larger STALCO sets such as 114-piece set S-12399. Treat content lists on the PDP as authoritative.

STALCO PERFECT line

Perfect sets sit higher in the range. Example: STALCO PERFECT screwdriver set S-66109 (9 pcs, S2, magnetic tips) — snapshot ~€45.31 incl. VAT. Do not copy Perfect marketing claims onto basic STALCO singles.

Bit sets, T-handle and flexible screwdrivers

Bits matter when you switch profiles often or drive with a power tool. On Saniso, bit sets live mainly in a sibling category — Bit sets — not only inside the screwdriver category URL. Link there for dedicated bit kits; do not imply every bit set sits under the parent screwdriver category slug.

When bits help

Interchangeable bits for PH/PZ/Torx/hex/flat; keep one handle or chuck and swap tips.

T-handle with bits and sockets

Example: T-handle screwdriver set 23 pcs S010800023 — snapshot ~€7.87 incl. VAT (bits + 1/4″ sockets per PDP). Flexible shaft option: Flexible screwdriver with bits S-12401.

Precision and electrotechnical screwdrivers

Precision for small fasteners

Electronics, glasses, small appliances. Example: Precision screwdriver set 7 pcs S-12397.

Insulated / 1000 V (only where the PDP says so)

Not a category-wide claim. Some STALCO electrotechnical products list VDE / IEC 60900 / 1000 V on the product page — treat those as PDP claims (certificate documents were not verified in research). Example set with VDE labelling on Saniso: 5-piece 1000V VDE set S-14462. See also electrotechnical screwdrivers. Avoid relying on corrupted PDP bodies for content claims.

Stripped or broken screw: screw extractors

A screw extractor (left-hand / reverse-thread tip) bites into a damaged head so you can back the screw out. Saniso’s dedicated extractor range is small: two SKUs under Screw extractors:

• STALCO S-20950 — 5-piece extractors — snapshot ~€2.96 incl. VAT
• STALCO S-20951 — extractors (8 sizes per PDP/image naming) — snapshot ~€12.26 incl. VAT

Do not describe this as a full extractor catalogue — it is these two options on snapshot.

Handy accessories: magnetising and storage

Magnetizer / demagnetizer S010800000 (~€2.14 incl. VAT snapshot) magnetises or demagnetises tips for holding screws or reducing unwanted magnetism.

Quick buying checklist

1. List the fastener profiles you meet weekly (SL / PH / PZ / Torx). 2. Decide set first vs singles for remaining gaps. 3. Add bits from the Bit sets category if you drive with a machine. 4. Add precision or insulated tools only when those jobs are real — and read each PDP for any VDE / 1000 V wording. 5. Keep extractors for damaged heads — Saniso lists two STALCO kits only on snapshot.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a screwdriver set or singles?

A compact SL/PH set covers most DIY jobs; add Torx, precision, insulated or extractors when those jobs appear regularly.

Phillips or Pozidriv?

Different recesses. Use PH tips on Phillips screws and PZ on Pozidriv — mixing them damages fasteners.

Where are bit sets on Saniso?

Mainly in Bit sets, separate from the screwdriver category listing.

How many screw extractors does Saniso list?

Two STALCO SKUs: S-20950 and S-20951, also under screw extractors.

Are all screwdrivers in this category VDE / 1000 V?

No. Only products whose PDP states VDE / IEC 60900 / 1000 V — check each page before electrical work.
