Question 1

Which Venus screwdriver set should an electrician buy?

Accepted Answer

Start with the Electricians Pattern insulated range (VSD-RI) in 3.5×100mm, 5×150mm, and 6×150mm for flathead work on live panels (IS 844:1979 compliant). Add Phillips insulated PH1 and PH2 in 150mm length. For a ready-made kit, the Venus Screwdriver Kit (VSD-K-5 or VSD-K-6) includes the most common sizes. Always check the insulation is undamaged before working on live circuits.

Question 2

What is a striking screwdriver and when do I use it?

Accepted Answer

A Venus Square Striking Screwdriver (VSD-SS) has a square cross-section shank that passes through the handle with a metal cap on the end. You hit it with a hammer to break free seized or corroded screws. The impact force transfers directly through the blade to the screw head. Use it during machine overhauls and maintenance shutdowns when screws are rusted or locked with thread adhesive. Never use a regular screwdriver as a chisel. That damages the handle.

Question 3

How do I choose between flathead and Phillips screwdrivers?

Accepted Answer

Use flathead (slotted) screwdrivers for older Indian electrical fittings, terminal screws, and traditional woodscrews. Use Phillips (cross-head) for modern machinery, appliances, automobile interiors, and electronics. Phillips is self-centering and resists slipping under torque. Most workshops need both: keep 3-4 sizes of each type. The Venus two-in-one reversible (VSD-R) gives you both tips in a single tool for field work.

Question 4

Does Venus make precision screwdrivers for electronics?

Accepted Answer

Venus offers small-blade Engineer's Pattern screwdrivers starting at 3.5×75mm (flathead) and PH0×75mm (Phillips), which handle most consumer electronics, mobile phone, and appliance repair screws. For micro-electronics that need jeweller-size tips, you'll want a dedicated precision set. For general appliance and electrical fitting work, the Venus range covers all common screw sizes found in Indian products.
