Screwdrivers & Awls for Woodworking and Machine Setup

Precision screwdrivers and awls are everyday tools in the woodworking shop, used for adjusting machine fences, tightening router bit set screws, starting pilot holes, and marking layout points. The right driver—whether a traditional flat or Phillips, T-handle, hex key, or torque-set driver—makes setup faster, reduces cam-out damage on fasteners, and keeps machinery running at its best.

Infinity Tools stocks a range of screwdriver sets from respected makers including Narex, Grace USA, and professional multi-driver sets. The 102-piece hex driver set covers virtually every hex fastener size used in woodworking machinery and furniture hardware. The Narex 7-piece professional screwdriver set includes both flat and Phillips drivers in a protective wooden box for bench storage.

Specialized Driver Sets and Awls

T-handle screwdrivers provide excellent torque for larger fasteners without wrist fatigue. The 28-piece torque screwdriver set handles applications requiring controlled, measured torque. For layout and pilot hole work, the Narex awls are precision-pointed tools for marking and starting holes cleanly in wood.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of screwdrivers are most useful in a woodworking shop?

A woodworking shop benefits from flat-blade drivers (for slotted machine screws), Phillips and Pozidriv drivers (for wood screws), hex keys and hex driver sets (for set screws and furniture hardware), and T-handle drivers for high-torque applications. The 102-piece hex driver set covers the full range of hex fastener sizes used across woodworking machinery.

What is a woodworking awl used for?

An awl is a pointed tool used to mark precise locations on wood for drilling, scribing lines, and starting pilot holes that guide a drill bit exactly on target. The Narex awls are precision-ground for clean, centered starts without wandering.

What is the advantage of a T-handle screwdriver over a standard handle?

A T-handle screwdriver positions the grip perpendicular to the driver shaft, giving a much larger torque radius than a standard oval or pistol grip. This makes it possible to apply significantly more turning force without wrist strain, which is valuable for driving larger screws and tightening machine fasteners.

What is a torque screwdriver set used for in woodworking?

A torque screwdriver set allows you to apply a precise, repeatable amount of turning force to fasteners. This is useful for assembly of hardware where over-tightening can strip threads or damage materials, and for machine setup where consistent fastener tension matters.

Are Grace USA screwdrivers good for woodworking?

Grace USA produces high-quality American-made screwdrivers and pliers built to professional standards. Their drivers feature properly machined tips that resist cam-out and fit fastener slots accurately, which reduces damage to fastener heads on fine machinery and hardware.

Can screwdrivers damage wood screws if the tip doesn’t fit correctly?

Yes. A driver tip that is too narrow, too wide, or the wrong type will cam out of the fastener head under load, rounding out the slot and potentially marring the surrounding wood surface. Always match the driver tip precisely to the fastener head size and type.

What precision pliers does Infinity Tools carry alongside screwdrivers?

The Grace USA 3-piece precision plier set complements the screwdriver range with needle-nose, diagonal, and flat-jaw options suited to hardware installation, machine setup, and fine assembly work.

How do I choose the right awl for marking wood?

Choose an awl with a tip ground for the type of marking you do most. A scratch awl has a round, tapered point for marking layout lines and starting drill holes. A brad awl has a chisel-tip that severs wood fibers and is used specifically for starting pilot holes for brad nails and small screws without splitting thin stock.

What other hand tools does Infinity Tools carry for machine setup?

Beyond screwdrivers and hex sets, Infinity Tools carries precision squares, marking gauges, and depth gauges for accurate machine alignment and setup. Browse the full hand tools collection for all available measuring and setup tools.
