Klein Tools 601-3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Klein Tools 601-3 screwdriver safe to use on live electrical circuits?
No. The 601-3 is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock, so it must not be used on energized conductors or terminals. For live work you need a VDE-rated insulated screwdriver, not this one. De-energize and verify dead before using the 601-3 in a panel or device box.
2) What is the difference between a cabinet tip and a regular keystone tip screwdriver?
A cabinet tip is ground straight with no flare at the shoulder, so the blade is no wider than the shank. On the 601-3 that means a 3/16 inch tip on a round shank that can drop into a counterbored or recessed screw hole where a flared keystone blade would bind. Keystone tips flare wider at the tip and give more bearing surface for heavy turning, so use keystone for general work and cabinet tips for recessed screws, terminal blocks, and tight device boxes.
3) Is the Klein 601-3 magnetic? Will it hold a screw while I start it?
The 601-3 tip is not magnetized, so it will not pick up or retain a loose screw. On overhead or blind work you will need to hold the fastener by hand or use a magnetizer. The upside is that a non-magnetic tip will not attract steel filings in a panel.
4) Does the Klein 601-3 meet any recognized hand tool standard for MRO purchasing?
Klein states the 601-3 meets or exceeds applicable ASME/ANSI specifications, and the tool is made in the USA. That is the standards claim on record for it, which is usually what a government or institutional buyer needs for a hand tool line item. It carries no electrical insulation rating.
5) What is the handle made of, and will it hold up in a tool pouch day after day?
The handle is black rubber with Klein's Cushion-Grip for torque and comfort, and internal flanges inside the handle anchor the blade so it resists twisting loose under load. The shank is steel, heat-treated, and chrome-plated for corrosion resistance. Tool weight is 1.6 oz (45 g), so it adds almost nothing to a pouch.
6) Can I use the Klein 601-3 to pry open a cover or scrape paint off a lug?
No. Klein specifically warns against using it to pry or chisel, and a 3/16 inch cabinet blade is ground thin with no flare, so side loading it will bend or snap the shank. Use a pry bar or a scraper for that and keep the driver for turning screws. Eye protection is called for whenever the tool is in use.
7) What part number do I order to restock this Klein cabinet tip screwdriver?
Order Klein Tools 601-3. That single MPN covers the 3/16 inch cabinet tip, 3 inch shank version, with no finish or handle options to specify.
