Klein Tools 601-8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between a cabinet tip screwdriver and a standard keystone tip?
A cabinet tip has the blade ground straight down to the tip width with no flare at the shoulder, so the 3/16 inch tip on the Klein 601-8 enters a recessed or counterbored screw hole that a flared keystone blade would bind against. A keystone tip flares wider than the shank and is the tougher choice for general prying-resistant work on exposed screws. Pick cabinet when the screw sits down a hole or inside a tight enclosure.
2) How deep can the Klein 601-8 screwdriver reach into an electrical box or cabinet recess?
The shank is 8 inches long with an overall length of 11.75 inches, so you get a full 8 inches of blade past the handle. That reach plus the round shank and narrow cabinet tip gets you to terminal screws at the back of a deep box or down a counterbored cabinet hole without the handle fouling the opening.
3) Is the Klein 601-8 screwdriver insulated for live electrical work?
No. The 601-8 is not insulated and carries no voltage rating, so it should not be used on energized conductors or terminals. It is a chrome-plated steel driver with a rubber cushion grip handle, which is comfort and grip only. For live work you need a Klein 1000V insulated screwdriver instead.
4) Is the Klein 601-8 screwdriver magnetic?
The tip is not magnetized, so screws will not stick to it. If you are working overhead or dropping fasteners into a box or a cabinet carcass, plan on holding the screw by hand or using a magnetizer. Chrome-plated heat-treated steel shaft, so a magnetizer will hold a charge on it.
5) How do I tell this Klein screwdriver apart from the rest in my pouch?
Klein's Tip-Ident marking on the end of the handle tells you the tip type and orientation at a glance, so you can pull the right driver out of a pouch by the butt end without spinning it around. The handle itself is black rubber cushion grip. Model number for reordering is 601-8.
6) Will the handle twist loose on the Klein 601-8 under heavy torque?
The blade is anchored in the handle with internal flanges that lock it against twisting, which is what keeps the shank from spinning inside the grip when you lean on a seized screw. It is still a fixed blade driver, not a pry bar, and the 3/16 inch cabinet blade is narrow by design, so heavy prying or hammering will damage the tip before the handle gives.
7) How much does the Klein 601-8 cabinet tip screwdriver weigh for a service tech's pouch?
3.2 oz (91 g) for the tool itself. Combined with the 11.75 inch overall length, it rides in a standard pouch loop without adding meaningful weight to a belt full of drivers.
