Purpose-Built Screw-Holding Driver

The Greenlee 0453-17C is a Phillips #1 screwdriver designed to hold the fastener on the tip. This function allows one-handed starts in tight or awkward locations. It is intended for technicians and assemblers who need to position and drive screws without a free hand to steady the fastener.

Users Who Need Self-Retention vs. Those Who Do Not

This tool suits installers working in deep recesses, electrical enclosures or automotive trim where the screw must stay on the driver until engaged. It is not for buyers who want a magnetised tip, an insulated shaft for live circuits, a non-sparking rating for hazardous atmospheres or an ESD-safe handle for sensitive electronics assembly.

Tip Size #1 Phillips with Chrome Shank

The defining specification is the #1 Phillips tip combined with a screw-holding mechanism on a chrome-coated shank. This exact tip size and retention style determine whether the driver matches the fasteners and access constraints of the job.

Questions about this item

Will the 0453-17C #1 Phillips tip fit the same fasteners I use with my older #1 drivers?

Yes, the #1 Phillips tip on this Greenlee 0453-17C matches the standard #1 profile used by older drivers, so it engages the same fastener heads.

How can I confirm the screw-holding feature is working when I first use it?

Place a screw on the black oxide tip; the fluted design should grip the screw head firmly enough to start it one-handed without the screw falling off.

Does the 0453-17C come with any extra bits or a case, or is it just the single screwdriver?

The box contains only the single 0453-17C screw-holding Phillips screwdriver; no additional bits, handle adapters or storage case are included.
