## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=TPH-DA-51:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/TPH-DA-51:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The Engineer DA-51 4-in-1 ceramic alignment screwdriver is a precision-engineered tool designed specifically for adjusting trim pots and variable coils in electronic PCB circuits. With its non-conductive zirconia ceramic tips, this specialised tool enables high-frequency trimming without interference, making it essential for precise electronic adjustments and calibrations.

### Key Features

- Dual-ended design with four distinct adjustment points
- Non-inductive and non-conductive zirconia ceramic tips and hex shafts
- Precision-engineered tips: 0.4mm x 0.9mm and 0.4mm x 1.8mm
- Hex shaft dimensions: 2.0mm and 2.5mm across flats
- Ergonomic pen-style design with protective caps
- Integrated pocket clip for convenient storage
- ROHS compliant manufacturing
 
### How to Use

The DA-51 features a dual-ended design optimised for different adjustment scenarios:

- End 1 (0.4mm x 0.9mm tip) - Ideal for fine-pitch trim potentiometers and smaller variable components
- End 2 (0.4mm x 1.8mm tip) - Perfect for standard-sized trim pots and larger adjustment points
 
For optimal results when adjusting components, pair with precision tools like the [Adafruit Ceramic Sharp Point Tweezers](https://core-electronics.com.au/ceramic-sharp-point-tweezers.html) for component stabilisation during calibration.

### What's in the Box

- 1x Engineer DA-51 Ceramic Alignment Screwdriver with protective caps
 
### Compatibility

The DA-51 is compatible with a wide range of electronic components and applications:

- Surface-mount and through-hole trim potentiometers
- Variable inductors and capacitors
- RF circuit tuning components
- High-frequency adjustment points
 
For comprehensive circuit work, consider complementing the DA-51 with the [iFixit Mako Driver Kit - 64 Precision Bits](https://core-electronics.com.au/ifixit-mako-driver-kit-64-precision-bits.html) for complete board-level access.
