Klein Tools P12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Klein Tools P12 screwdriver safe to use on live electrical circuits?
No. The P12 is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock. Keep it off energized work and use a properly rated insulated driver for anything live. It is a general-purpose precision Phillips driver, not a VDE-style tool.
2) What screw size does a #0 Phillips driver like the Klein P12 actually fit?
The P12 carries a #0 Phillips tip, the smallest of the common Phillips sizes. That is the size for thermostat terminals, device plate and small panel screws, electronics, and control board hardware. If you are driving standard outlet and switch screws you want a #1 or #2 instead, since a #0 will cam out and chew the recess.
3) How long is the Klein P12 pocket clip screwdriver, and will it reach into a deep box?
Overall length is 5 inches with a 2-1/2 inch round shank, so the usable reach past the handle is only about two and a half inches. That is fine for terminal screws at the face of a device or a panel door, but it will not reach the back of a deep enclosure. For that you need a long-shank driver.
4) Is the tip on the Klein P12 magnetic for holding small screws?
No, the P12 tip is not magnetized. With #0 screws that means you are holding the fastener by hand to start it. If you need the screw to stay on the tip, pick a magnetized precision driver or magnetize the tip yourself.
5) Will the Klein P12 clip into a shirt pocket or tool pouch without being bulky?
It is built for that. The P12 weighs 0.8 oz (23 g) and runs 5 inches long with a pocket clip on the handle, so it rides in a shirt pocket like a pen. Techs who carry one driver for thermostats and low-voltage terminals usually clip this one.
6) What is the Klein P12 blade and handle made of, and will it hold up in a service bag?
The blade is nickel-chrome, precision forged and polished with a black tip, on a chrome-plated shaft that resists corrosion. The handle is Klein's amber Comfordome plastic with internal flanges that anchor the shaft against twisting. It is steel-bodied and meets or exceeds applicable ASME/ANSI specifications. One caution: it is not a pry bar or chisel, and side-loading a #0 shank will snap it.
7) Is the Klein P12 screwdriver made in the USA?
Yes, the P12 is made in the USA. That matters for institutional and government buyers working to domestic sourcing preferences on MRO tool purchases.
8) What is the Klein part number to reorder this pocket clip screwdriver?
Order it as Klein Tools P12. That is the single model for the #0 Phillips round-shank pocket clip driver, so there is no handing, length, or finish option to specify.
