The Ullman Double Ended Mechanical Screw Starter is a compact, USA-made hand tool designed to hold, position and start slotted head screws in awkward or restricted spaces.

Unlike magnetic screw holders, its mechanical gripping head works with both ferrous and non-ferrous screws, making it useful for fasteners that cannot be held magnetically.

Featuring a lightweight aluminium body, double-ended design and convenient pocket clip, this 155mm screw starter is a practical addition to an automotive, engineering or general maintenance toolkit.

These are unbranded Ullman clearance tools and may show age-related marks or surface rust. The reduced selling price reflects their cosmetic condition.

Mechanical Screw Holding Design

The mechanical head grips a compatible screw without relying on magnetism, allowing the tool to hold both magnetic and non-magnetic fasteners.

This is particularly useful when starting screws in recessed locations or where fingers cannot easily hold the screw in position.

The tool is designed to help position and start screws, after which final tightening should be completed using the correct screwdriver.

How to Use

  • Twist and retract the mechanical head to prepare the gripping mechanism.
  • Align the head with a compatible screw.
  • Push towards the screw to engage the mechanical holder.
  • Position the screw in the required location and rotate the tool to begin threading.
  • Once started, complete tightening with an appropriate screwdriver or driver bit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ullman Tools Magnetic Screw Starter used for?
The Ullman Tools Double Ended Mechanical Screw Starter is a USA-made hand tool designed to hold, position and start screws in awkward or hard-to-reach locations. Its mechanical gripping mechanism helps secure compatible screw heads while they are guided into position and the threads are started. It is particularly useful for automotive servicing, mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance and general workshop repairs where screws are difficult to hold by hand.
Can the Ullman Mechanical Screw Starter hold both magnetic and non-magnetic screws?
Yes. The Ullman Double Ended Screw Starter uses a mechanical gripping mechanism rather than magnetism, allowing it to hold suitable ferrous and non-ferrous screws. This makes it useful for working with compatible steel, brass and other non-magnetic fasteners that conventional magnetic screw holders may not retain. The gripping action depends on the screw head's shape and dimensions rather than its magnetic properties.
What screw sizes are compatible with the Ullman Double Ended Mechanical Screw Starter?
The Ullman Tools Mechanical Screw Starter is designed for selected slotted heads #5, #6, #8, #10 and #12 screws, depending on their head design and dimensions. Its mechanical gripping head helps hold compatible screws securely during positioning and initial threading. Not every screw of these designated sizes will necessarily fit, so customers should consider the screw head profile and shape when selecting the tool.
What is the advantage of the double-ended design and aluminium construction?
The Ullman Double Ended Mechanical Screw Starter combines a practical double-ended design with a lightweight aluminium body and an overall length of 155mm. Its compact construction makes it convenient to carry and manoeuvre when working around restricted mechanical assemblies. An integrated pocket clip allows the tool to be kept readily accessible during automotive servicing, equipment repairs and workshop maintenance.
Why is this USA-made Ullman Mechanical Screw Starter sold as unbranded clearance stock?
These are genuine USA-made Ullman Tools screw starters, although the tools themselves do not carry Ullman branding. They are offered as clearance stock at a reduced price because individual tools may show age-related storage marks, discolouration or surface rust. These cosmetic imperfections should be considered before purchasing, as the tools are not advertised as having a pristine cosmetic finish. This listing supplies one individual double-ended mechanical screw starter, without screws or additional accessories.
Can the Ullman Mechanical Screw Starter be used for final screw tightening or loosening?
No. The Ullman Double Ended Mechanical Screw Starter is primarily intended for holding, positioning and starting compatible screws, rather than applying high tightening or loosening torque. Its mechanical gripping mechanism helps keep a screw in place while the initial threads are engaged. Once the screw has started, a suitable screwdriver or driver bit should be used to complete tightening. Avoid applying excessive force to the gripping mechanism or using the tool to loosen seized fasteners.
