Taparia Phillips Screwdriver No.2 - 150MM - 862
- Manufacturer: Taparia Tools Ltd.
- Model: 862
- Product: Phillips Screwdriver No. 2 — 150 mm
- Tip: Phillips No. 2 (PH2) — the most common size
- Blade Length: 150 mm
- Tip Finish: Black tip, hardened
- Handle: Insulated
Taparia Phillips Screwdriver 862 is a PH2 driver with a 150 mm blade — the single most used screwdriver size there is.
PH2 is the default for a reason: it fits the great majority of medium screws in electrical accessories, appliances, furniture fittings and general assembly. If you own one Phillips screwdriver, this is the size it should be.
Using the right size is not fussiness. A PH1 in a PH2 screw sits too deep and only contacts at the tip, so it cams out and rounds the recess; a PH3 sits too high and never seats at all. Both destroy the screw head, and a rounded screw in a fitted assembly is a genuinely tedious problem to solve.
Key Features
- PH2 tip: The most widely used Phillips size, fitting most medium screws
- 150 mm blade: Enough reach for recessed screws without becoming unwieldy
- Black hardened tip: Resists wear and grips better in the recess
- 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) What does PH2 mean?
It is the Phillips tip size, and No. 2 is the most common — it fits most medium screws in electrical accessories, appliances and furniture. If you own one Phillips driver, PH2 is the size to have.
2) What happens if I use the wrong size?
You ruin the screw. A PH1 in a PH2 screw sits too deep and contacts only at the tip, so it cams out and rounds the recess. A PH3 sits too high and never seats. Both leave you with a rounded head that is very tedious to remove.
3) Why does the driver keep slipping out?
Most often insufficient axial pressure — push in firmly while you turn. Phillips is designed to cam out under high torque, which is deliberate, so pressure is what keeps it seated.
4) Is 150 mm the right blade length?
It is the general-purpose length — enough reach for recessed screws without becoming awkward. Shorter blades suit confined spaces; longer ones reach deeper recesses but give less control.
5) Is the handle safe for live electrical work?
No. It is insulated for grip, not electrically tested. Use a VDE-certified screwdriver rated to 1000 V for any live work.
