Screwdriver-Shop mean business with over 2,000 products

We’re constantly seeking out new products as customers will always have different requirements and budgets; therefore we try to stock as diverse a range as possible...

(PRWEB UK) 23 February 2012

Screwdriver-Shop has smashed through the 2,000 product threshold by constantly introducing new screwdrivers and various other bits and pieces to satisfy the ever-growing number of customers that visit the website. Considering the website hasn’t even been around a year, it certainly appears as if it has been in existence for substantially longer. With large amounts of traffic, customers and products, people might be lead to believe Screwdriver-Shop has been around for many years.

The range of products for such a tool specific, focused website might seem mind boggling at first; but then once come to the realisation of all the different types of screwdriver bits and varieties of different heads, it becomes a bit easier to understand and digest.

For those that are a bit bemused by the types of different heads & sizes, a quick run-down of the most common will be given below:

• Slotted-tip/flat-head screwdrivers are one of the most common screw drives available; mainly due to being the first developed, but also due to the simplicity and minimal cost to manufacture.
• Phillips & Pozidriv are two other common types of screw drives, very similar in appearance and can very easily be confused. However, care must be taken to ensure the correct screw is screwed in or out with a screwdriver that has the corresponding head/tip.
• Torx (Hex sockets) is another type of driver commonly used; rather than having 2-4 points, it has 6 rounded points, almost resembling a star. This type of tip appears much more often in electrical and automotive industries because it is far more durable and is less likely to ‘cam out’ under large amounts of force.

All of these common types of screwdriver are available on the website separately, a variety can be found in some combination screwdriver sets which are usually better value for money. The type of screwdriver a user will require is all dependent upon the application; a mechanic will usually prefer Torx, whereas a woodworker will be more drawn to a flat-head screw driver. As they say, it’s all relative.

Scott Morris, Marketing Manager at Screwdriver-Shop was happy to comment on the breach of the 2,000 barrier; “We’re constantly seeking out new products as customers will always have different requirements and budgets; therefore we try to stock as diverse a range as possible to provide users with the best cost-effective choice available. We’re hopeful that we’re succeeding at this due to increased sales and traffic to the website; with a bit of luck the next year will hold the same for us!”

Screwdriver-Shop is a sub-site of the online retailer Toolbox, who is a sister company of Plumbworld. Plumbworld was one of the early pioneers in online trading; started back in 1999 by James and Anita Hickman. It has since been sold to the Grafton Group PLC, but the business continues to thrive; employing over 50 people spread throughout the purpose built warehouse and office blocks. The company also own and sell from more than 50 different websites; selling everything from heated towel rails and radiators, to bathroom taps and wood burning stoves. The business’ continued success sees it growing at over 20% each year with a turnover breaching £20 million.
