Get back to building faster with a wide range of screwdrivers, nut drivers and socket drivers available across Communica branches. We focus on availability and practical selection so students, makers and workshop technicians can pick the right tool without long lead times. Benefit from local stock in Samrand and Cape Town, branch collection options and VAT invoicing for institutional purchases.

Why choose our hand drivers

• Fast availability - many items stocked at our Samrand head office for same-day collection.
• Range depth - precision screwdrivers, insulated drivers, multi-bit sets, nut drivers and metric/SAE socket drivers for electronics and mechanical work.
• Support for education - bulk ordering options and clear VAT invoicing for labs and tertiary departments.

Common applications

Electronics repair and prototyping, robotics assemblies, power supply servicing, bench maintenance and student workshop practicals all rely on the correct driver type. We stock sizes and tip profiles commonly required for PCB standoffs, terminal blocks, M2-M10 fasteners and common socket sizes used in local equipment.

Compatibility & accessories

Select insulated drivers when working near live circuits, and pair socket drivers with quality ratchets for controlled torque. We offer accessory bundles - precision bit sets, magnetic bit holders and foam organizers - to keep student kits tidy and repeatable for lab practicals.

Stock checks and branch collection

Confirm real-time availability before you travel. Use our stock check to find items available for collection at Samrand or other branches - most technicians find same-day pickup at Samrand convenient for urgent repairs. See branch details and trading hours here: branches & trading hours.

Choosing the right driver: practical selection advice

Start with the task: small electronics need precision bits, chassis and enclosure work prefer nut drivers and 1/4" socket drivers. Consider tip profile (Phillips vs Pozidriv vs Torx), material hardness for durability, and whether you need insulated handles for live work. For classroom sets, balance durability with cost - mid-range sets often give the best long-term value.

Specification callouts to watch

• Tip size and fit - tight fit reduces cam-out and protects fastener heads.
• Drive type - metric vs SAE sockets for local hardware compatibility.
• Insulation rating - choose insulated drivers designed for electrical work when needed.

Typical troubleshooting & maintenance

Rounded tips and slipping bits are the most common issues. Replace worn bits promptly and store sets in foam or molded cases to extend life. For socket drivers: use correct drive-size ratchets and avoid using impact tools on standard hand sockets to prevent cracking.
