JIS-profile cross-head driver with a soft-core cushion grip and a magnetised through-hardened tip.
In stock 48 on hand
The Megadora 980 is the driver VESSEL are best known for, and the one most people mean when they say they want "a proper JIS screwdriver". The tip is ground to the JIS B 4633 cross-head profile, which is flatter at the flank than a Phillips and has no cam-out ramp designed into it. In a Japanese fastener it seats to the bottom of the recess and stays there under load.
The grip is a two-durometer moulding. A hard inner core carrying the torque, a softer outer skin taking the pressure off the palm. The blade runs into the handle rather than stopping at it, so the tool tolerates being driven with a mallet on a seized fastener without splitting the handle.
If you work on Japanese machinery, cameras, motorcycles or consumer electronics, this profile is the difference between backing a screw out and destroying its head.
