4.0mm Philips screwdriver "MINI series"

The right tool for the most delicate screws in your workshop

In the world of slot and modelling, small screws are the main players in any setup. A poorly tightened screw, a tip that doesn’t fit well, or a handle that doesn’t provide control can ruin hours of preparation. The Philips 4.0mm screwdriver from the MINI series (ref. XT-05240) is designed precisely to avoid these problems: a precision tool intended for comfortable work where space is limited.

Main features

• 4.0 mm Philips tip: perfect for cross-head screws found in bodies, chassis, and slot and modelling accessories.
• MINI series: compact format that facilitates access to hard-to-reach areas without sacrificing operator control.
• Reference XT-05240: clear identification for replenishment and compatibility with the tool system of the range.

Workshop applications

This screwdriver is particularly useful for tasks such as disassembling and assembling bodies, adjusting mounts, securing elements in slot chassis, or any tuning operation that requires a manageable and reliable tool. Its compact size makes it a regular companion on the workbench, both for the enthusiast preparing their car for club night and for the more demanding builder.

Assembly and preparation

To get the most out of any precision screwdriver, it is advisable to keep the tip clean and free from metal or grease residues. A slight perpendicular pressure on the screw before turning prevents premature wear of the head and ensures even tightening. For very small screws, gentle and controlled traction is always preferable to brute force.
