Taparia Flat Screwdriver 901 is a slotted driver with a short 75 mm blade — a stubby driver for places a full-length screwdriver simply will not go.
Short blades exist because of access. Terminal screws inside a consumer unit, screws behind a panel, fixings inside an appliance casing — in all of those there is not enough clearance to get a 150 mm driver in straight, and a driver used at an angle cams out and chews the slot.
A short blade also gives more control and less flex. There is less blade to twist, so more of your effort reaches the screw, which matters on a tight terminal screw that has been in place for years.
Key Features
- 75 mm short blade: Reaches terminal screws and panel fixings where a long driver will not fit
- Less flex, more control: A short blade twists less, so more effort reaches the screw
- Black hardened tip: Resists wear and rounding
- Insulated handle for comfort and grip
- Made by Taparia Tools — an ISO-9001 company manufacturing hand tools in India since 1969, in technical collaboration with Bahco of Sweden

Getting the Best from It
- Match the tip to the screw. A tip that is too small chews out the screw head; too large and it will not seat
- Push in while you turn. Most cam-out happens because of too little axial pressure, not too little torque
- Never use a screwdriver as a chisel or pry bar — it bends the blade and ruins the tip
- Keep it dry and lightly oiled — hand tools rust quickly through a Bengaluru monsoon
- Use the tool for its intended job; most hand tool failures come from using one as a pry bar or chisel
1) Why such a short blade?
Access. Terminal screws in a consumer unit, fixings behind a panel, screws inside an appliance — there is often not enough clearance for a full-length driver, and one used at an angle cams out and chews the slot.
2) Is a short driver less effective?
The opposite, in tight work. A short blade flexes less, so more of your effort reaches the screw. On a tight terminal screw that has been in place for years, that control matters more than reach.
3) How do I choose the right flat tip width?
It should fill the screw slot across its full width and sit flat in the bottom. A narrow tip in a wide slot concentrates force at one point and tears out the slot edges.
4) Can I use it on terminal screws in a live board?
Not safely. This handle is insulated for grip, not electrically tested. Isolate the circuit, or use a VDE-certified screwdriver rated to 1000 V.
5) Can I use it to pry or scrape?
No. It is the quickest way to ruin a screwdriver — prying bends the blade and destroys the tip, after which it will slip out of every screw you use it on.
