Review on πŸ”§ 3/16 Cabinet and #2 Phillips Precision Machined Tips, Cushion-Grip Handles Screwdriver Set - 2-Piece by Klein Tools 85742 by Reginald Hamilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A reliable alternative to small precision screwdrivers - the torque we've been waiting for.

Overall Length: 7 3/4" (200mm) Shaft Length: 4" (100mm) Tip Width: 1/8" (3.2mm) Larger diameter grip than the Most 1/8" Bits Including Klein Miniature Series This link used to be the best Klein Screwdriver with 1/8" bit, but note the Klein Tool 608-4 1/8" Small Diameter Handle : The temptation to use it for anything other than connecting low-torque wires will likely snap the tip. Just because you see the dependable black and yellow sticking out deep in your tool bag, resist the temptation to use it for other species of cables to use screw other than a terminal block. THIS TOOL FITS 99% of the terminal blocks in our facility. I found a guy who had a hole width the screw is almost 3mm (screwdriver tip width 3mm), which prompted me to pull out the old precision screwdriver. But they're pretty rare and you can count on them to fit most IEC and NEMA devices. The truth is that I could insert this tool into the hole and possibly tighten the screw, but that leads to other problems with the deformation of the terminal block and the movement and disappearance of the clamping screw. than one using 10 different bits) will receive a rating other than 5 stars. This one is no different. I was desperate for a good quality regular screwdriver that would work with the terminal blocks. I've struggled with different sets of precision screwdrivers for years, trying to find one that provides the right torque, fits the screw properly, and lasts a long time (lots of small broken bits in my past). Downtime is increasing all the time as everything becomes more and more automated. I think they're so common because few technicians (myself included) own a screwdriver that can properly tighten a screw. Especially when multiple wires run under the same terminal block screw. Control panels/terminal blocks are the central nervous system of the system. Now you can give them the attention they deserve and make that "precision" screwdriver work by tightening your sunglasses, not the critical controls.
