Klein Tools 601-6 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Klein 601-6 screwdriver insulated for live electrical work?
No. The Klein Tools 601-6 cabinet tip screwdriver is not insulated, so it should not be used on energized conductors or terminals. It is a standard chrome plated steel driver for de-energized panel work, cabinet hardware, and general installation. If you need to work live, you need a 1000V insulated driver instead, not this one.
2) What is the difference between a cabinet tip and a keystone tip screwdriver?
A cabinet tip has parallel sides all the way to the end of the blade, with no flare, so it drops fully into a recessed or counterbored screw head without binding on the sides. A keystone tip flares out at the blade and gives more torque on open screws but will not seat in a deep recess. The 601-6 uses a 3/16 inch cabinet tip on a 6 inch round shank, which is why it reaches breaker and terminal screws set back in a panel.
3) Is the Klein 601-6 magnetic? Will it hold a screw on the tip?
It is not magnetized, so it will not hold a loose screw on the tip. For overhead device screws or dropping a screw into a box, you would want a magnetic tip driver or a magnetizer. The 601-6 relies on a precision machined cabinet tip for fit and torque transfer, not magnetic retention.
4) What part number and UPC do I order for the Klein 3/16-inch cabinet tip 6-inch screwdriver?
Order Klein Tools manufacturer part number 601-6, UPC 092644850141. It is a single configuration: 3/16 inch cabinet tip, 6 inch round shank, black Cushion-Grip handle. There are no finish or handle color choices to specify.
5) Will the chrome plating hold up in a damp mechanical room or outdoor service work?
The shaft is heat treated steel with chrome plating, which resists corrosion and wipes clean after exposure to moisture or dust. Wipe it down after wet work and the plating stays intact. The blade is anchored in the handle with internal flanges, so it will not spin loose in the grip under heavy torque.
6) Is this screwdriver light enough to carry in a pouch all day?
The driver weighs 2.4 oz (68 g) and measures 9.75 inches long by about 1 inch across the handle, so it rides in a standard screwdriver loop without adding noticeable weight to the belt. The round shank lets it spin freely in your palm for fast starts on device screws.
