Ceramic screwdrivers are extremely useful to have around the workbench. These are specifically designed for tuning and adjusting electrically sensitive equipment as they are anti-static, non-conductive, and anti-magnetic.

This specific size is a Phillips 0 – we use these for adjusting tiny SMD trim pots (easily shorted with a metal screwdriver) – no need to power down to make an adjustment! They are also ideal for adjusting components in high frequency circuits.

These should not be used in place of conventional screwdrivers as they are not designed for the load that a tight screw will put on the softer ceramic material.
