Anyone who has boogered up a nice screw with a hardware store driver knows exactly why a tool like this exists. The Forster #14 is a single, dedicated gunsmith screwdriver with a hollow ground, parallel tip that fills the screw slot properly instead of wedging in like a cheap tapered blade. That flat, ground profile grabs the bottom of the slot where the screw is strongest, so you get clean torque transfer and a lot less risk of camming out and marring the finish.
Forster lists the #14 as a guard screw and general purpose blade, which makes it one of the more useful sizes in the lineup for everyday bench work. Think trigger guard screws, action screws, and the assorted slotted fasteners you run into taking a rifle or shotgun apart for cleaning and reassembly. It carries a 4-inch blade and the manufacturer part number 001171, and it's one of the eight sizes that make up Forster's full gunsmith set, so you can add it as a standalone or fill a gap in a kit you already own.
Forster has been building tools in Lanark, Illinois since 1935, and these drivers are turned from hardened steel with single-piece construction for solid feel in the hand. The blades are ground specifically for firearm screws rather than general hardware, and the red handle is marked so you can grab the right size fast when you've got a few laid out on the bench. Pair it with a bit of down pressure and the tip stays seated where it belongs.
If you take care of your own guns or work on friends' and family's firearms, a proper fitting blade is the difference between a clean job and a scratched receiver. The #14 is a small investment that saves you from the headache of buggered screws down the road.
Forster lists the #14 as a guard screw and general purpose blade, so it handles trigger guard screws, action screws, and a wide range of slotted fasteners on rifles and shotguns. It's one of the more versatile sizes in the lineup and a common reach-for tool during cleaning and reassembly.
A hollow ground, parallel tip sits flat against the bottom and sides of the screw slot instead of wedging in like a tapered blade. That contact where the screw is strongest gives you better torque transfer and greatly reduces the chance of slipping out and scratching the finish. It's the reason gunsmith-specific drivers exist.
This listing is for the single #14 driver, part number 001171. Forster also offers it as part of an eight-piece set that includes sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, and 16, but here you're getting just the one blade to add on its own or replace a size in a kit you already have.
Forster Products has manufactured its tools in Lanark, Illinois since 1935. The drivers are made in the USA from hardened steel with single-piece construction.
