Hey all you tradesmen anyone know how to clean the white residue off screwdriver handles,?? Dish washer ??
this is what i found out !
The handles are made from cellulose acetate butyrate, not polycarbonate. The white residue is a decomposition product and you can probably smell the stench of butyric acid.Jul 5, 2019
i was told the reason they used cellulose acetate butyrate was the insulation value for electrical work.... my set and my snap on set i got in 1974 to 75 with my tool set for school ....i am obsessive compulsive about cleaning and putting tools back in the right spots.... i honestly never had a issue but from what i just read this is very common
