The safety limitation matters alongside the material choice in TONE’s PLPWD7 screwdriver set: these grips are not insulated for work on live electrical equipment. TONE announced the seven-piece set on October 7, with a recommended retail price of ¥7,800 before tax.
Material and storage
The screwdrivers come in a resin tray. TONE describes their grips as a wood-powder and plastic composite and says the material and shape resist slipping. That is a manufacturer claim, not a result of our testing. The product page identifies the intended fasteners as cross-head and slotted screws.
A company-history distinction
TONE’s history records its predecessor’s establishment in Osaka in 1938. That historical origin does not establish where this particular set is manufactured. Neither the announcement nor the specifications reviewed here provide a basis for calling PLPWD7 a Japan-made product.
Read the product’s use restrictions before choosing it for a task; a non-slip grip claim is not evidence of electrical protection.
日本語要約
TONE、木粉・樹脂グリップのドライバー7本セットを案内
TONEは10月7日、樹脂トレー入りの7本組PLPWD7を発表しました。メーカー希望小売価格は税抜7,800円。グリップには木粉とプラスチックの複合材料を使い、同社は滑りにくさを特徴としています。ただし柄は絶縁用ではなく、通電中の対象には使用できません。同社の沿革では前身企業の設立は1938年の大阪ですが、この製品の製造国を示す情報とは区別します。実物テスト、現在の在庫、海外配送は未確認です。
