Ruuvimeisselien

Ruuvimeisselien is a Finnish term that translates to "screwdriver" in English. It refers to a hand tool used for turning screws. Screwdrivers are essential for assembling and disassembling furniture, electronics, and various other mechanical devices. They come in a wide variety of types and sizes, designed to fit different screw head designs.

The most common types of screwdrivers include slotted (or flat-head) screwdrivers, which have a single flat tip, and Phillips head screwdrivers, which have a cross-shaped tip. Other common types include Torx, Robertson (square), and Pozidriv screwdrivers, each designed for specific screw head configurations. The size of the screwdriver typically refers to the length of its shaft and the diameter of its tip.

Screwdrivers are typically made with a metal shaft and a handle made of plastic, rubber, or wood for grip. The metal shaft is usually hardened to prevent bending or breaking. The tip of the screwdriver is often magnetized to help hold the screw in place during insertion. Specialized screwdrivers exist for tasks requiring specific torque or precision, such as electric screwdrivers and torque screwdrivers. The proper selection and use of a ruuvimeisseli are crucial for avoiding damage to screws and the materials being worked on.
