MEGAPRO® screwdrivers have a whole host of amazing driver features that improve productivity, driver function, and provide comfort in use. There’s only one feature, however, that provides you with all three of these benefits at the same time: The Palm Saver Cap™
Sure, we’re known for and take great pride in our Original Retractable Cartridge, a screwdriver innovation that revolutionized the multi-bit screwdriver game. But if the Retractable Cartridge is the MVP of our MEGAPRO® Advantage, the Palm Saver Cap™ is easily the unsung hero, quietly going about its business while making your screwdriving experience a true joy.
Comfortably Tame Stubborn Screws
Say you run into a stubborn or stuck screw, or you’re nearing the end of fastening in a screw and you’re starting to get some heavy resistance. You don’t have to give up or switch to an impact driver because the Palm-Saver Cap™ is about to show you what it can do.
This humble cap that sits at the end of your MEGAPRO® driver turns independently of the driver handle. That means you can apply consistent pressure towards the screw with the palm of one hand, while turning the driver with your other hand. This allows for a massive amount of torque, giving you the edge needed to fully turn that screw until it’s all the way in.
And the best part of this extra torque is how comfortably it can be achieved. If you try this with a standard screwdriver, the handle ends up turning in the palm of your hand, causing uncomfortable friction in use. This is how we’re taught to start campfires, not fasten a screw!
Using a MEGAPRO® driver this way means the cap stays in place, while the rest of the driver turns, avoiding any friction with the palm of your hand. No blisters, no callouses, only good vibes :)
Kicks your Fastening Up a Gear
If the added torque and comfort provided by the Palm Saver Cap™ isn’t enough of a reason to always have a MEGAPRO® screwdriver by your side, we’re pretty sure the extra speed and productivity this feature allows should tip the scales.
The cap function means you’ll be finishing those fastening tasks quicker, without having to switch to another tool to get the job done. The innovative design that allows comfortable two-handed use, means there’s no need for constant grip changes or hand gymnastics. Just steady and repetitive motion until the fastener is in. Move onto the next screw and get more fastening done in a shorter amount of time.
Everybody can appreciate a steady workflow, and that’s exactly what the Palm Saver Cap™ provides. It’s a little detail that makes a big difference and once you experience it, you’ll wonder how you ever used any other screwdriver.
Need a Hand?
Another great trick the Palm Saver Cap™ allows for, is comfortable, one-handed use. If you don’t need that extra hand for torque, position the cap in your palm and use your fingers to turn the handle. Suddenly, you have a whole extra hand to use!
Having that free hand can mean A LOT more productivity. Grab the next fastener you plan on putting in, steady or hold the pieces you’re fastening in place for more accuracy and speed. If you’re a real show-off, grab your phone and send that email or take a selfie while you work. You could even grab another MEGAPRO® driver and spin that driver cap for fun (seriously, the Palm Saver Cap™ is one of the most underrated fidget spinners around).
Productivity and stress relief in one package. This driver feature does it all!
So, whether you're tackling a marathon assembly session or just dealing with one seriously stubborn screw, the MEGAPRO® Palm Saver Cap™ has got your back (and your palm).
And if you haven’t experienced this amazing driver feature, your hands are missing out. But don’t worry—it’s never too late to upgrade your screwdriver game. Head over to our Amazon store and grab your new favourite tool. When you use it for the first time, you’ll instantly love it, and in the words of today's youth: That’s no cap.
