Proto Slotted Screw Starter - 9-5/8" J9855-SBD

Proto's Slotted Screw Starter is a specialized, long-reach hand tool designed to facilitate the initial threading of slotted fasteners in deep, narrow, or otherwise inaccessible locations. With an extended 9-5/8 inch length, this tool is significantly longer than standard starters, making it ideal for industrial maintenance, aerospace applications, and complex automotive assemblies. Its precision-machined tip securely holds the screw head, allowing for one-handed operation in obstructed environments where manual placement is impossible.
