This Standard will be revised when the Society approves the issuance of a
new edition. There will be no addenda issued to this edition.
This code or standard was developed under procedures accredited as meeting the criteria for
American National Standards. The Standards Committee that approved the code or standard
was balanced to assure that individuals from competent and concerned interests have had an
opportunity to participate. The proposed code or standard was made available for public review
and comment that provides an opportunity for additional public input from industry, academia,
regulatory agencies, and the public-at-large.
ASME does not "approve," "rate," or "endorse" any item, construction, proprietary device,
or activity.
ASME does not take any position with respect to the validity of any patent rights asserted in
connection with any items mentioned in this document, and does not undertaketo insure anyone
utilizing a standard against liability for infringement of any applicable letters patent, nor assume
any such liability. Users of a code or standard are expressly advised that determination of the
validity of any such patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their
own responsibility.
Participation by federal agency representative(s1or person(s) affiliated with industry is not to
be interpreted as government or industry endorsement of this code or standard.
ASME accepts responsibility for only those interpretations of this document issued in
accordance with the established ASME procedures and policies, which precludes the issuance
of interpretations by individuals.

FOREWORD
The American National Standards Committee B107, Socket Wrenches and Drives, under
sponsorship of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, was reorganized as an
ASME Standards Committee, and its title was changed to Hand Tools and Accessories. In
1996 its scope was expanded to address safety considerations.
The purposes of this Standard are to define general and dimensional data and safety
considerations specifically applicable to cross tip screwdrivers and to specify test methods
to evaluate performance relating to the defined requirements.
This new Standard includes a revision of matenal previously contained in ASME B 107.151993 Fiat Tip and Phillips Screwdrivers. Principal changes in this Standard are the inclusion
of PZ type screwdrivers and safety considerations.
The format of this Standard is in accordance with The ASME Codes and Standards
Writing Guide 2000. Requests for interpretations of the technical requirements of this
Standard should be expressed in writing to the Secretary, B107 Committee, at the address
below.
Suggestions for the improvement of this Standard are welcome. They should be addressed
to The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Secretary, B107 Standards Committee,
Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990.
The requirements of this Standard become effective at the time of publication. This
Standard was approved as an American National Standard on May 13, 2002.

General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the
consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the
Committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee
meetings. Correspondence should be addressed to:
Subject:
Edition:
Question:
Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry.
Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation
is being requested.
Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific
requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request
for an approval of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may
also include any plans or drawings, which are necessary to explain
the question; however, they should not contain Proprietary names or
information.
Requests that are not in this format may be rewritten in the appropriate format by the
Committee prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the
original request.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional
information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by
an interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME
does not approve, certify, rate, or endorse any item, construction, proprietary device,
or activity.
Attending Committee Meetings. The B 107 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings,
which are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting should contact the
Secretary of the B107 Standards Committee.

ASME E107.30-2002
1 SCOPE
Shank
This Standard covers straight handle-type screwdrivers of PHILLIPS@' and POZIDRIV@' design intended
for manual operation in driving or removing screws
with PHILLIPS@'or POZIDRP'
recesses. The screwdrivers are of the types normally used by cabinetmakers,
carpenters, sheet metai workers, production workers,
mechanics, etc. The intention is to specify performance
rather than design detail.
Inclusion of dimensional data in this Standard is not
intended to imply that all of the products described
herein are stock production sizes. Consumers are requested to consult with manufacturers concerning lists
of stock production sizes.
Using a screwdriver as a pry bar or striking it with
a hammer are clearly misuses of the tool, and nothing
in this Standard shall be interpreted as condoning any
tool misuse. Further information about proper use of
screwdrivers is contained in the Guide to Hand Tools Selection, Safety Tips, Proper Use and Care.
