Klein Tools 6243 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Klein Tools 6243 precision screwdriver on live electrical circuits?
No. The 6243 is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock, so keep it off energized work. For live terminals you need a screwdriver rated and marked as insulated (1000V VDE type). The 6243 is a dry-work precision driver for small equipment, controls, and device adjustment after the circuit is de-energized.
2) What size slotted screws does the Klein 6243 fit?
The tip is 3/32 inch (2.4 mm) slotted, which is the size for small terminal screws on thermostats, control boards, meters, and low-voltage devices. If you are driving standard device or receptacle screws, that tip is too small and you want a full-size slotted cabinet-tip driver instead.
3) How deep can the Klein 6243 reach into a recessed screw?
Shank length is 3 inches (7.6 cm), with an overall length of 6.5 inches (16.5 cm). That gives you enough reach to get down into a recessed terminal or a shallow enclosure while keeping the handle clear of the panel face.
4) Will the Klein 6243 hold a small screw magnetically?
No, the 6243 tip is not magnetized, so it will not pick up or retain a loose screw. Working over an open chassis or a board, start the screw by hand or use a magnetizer. The tip is heat treated and precision machined for strength in the slot rather than for pickup.
5) What is the point of the rotating cap on this Klein precision screwdriver?
The rotating cap lets you rest a fingertip on the end and apply steady downward pressure while your other fingers spin the handle. That is what you want on tiny slotted screws where too much torque strips the slot. The cap is also over-sized and marked with the tip size, and there's a color coded ring (blue on the 6243) so you can pick the right driver out of a set fast.
6) Is the Klein 6243 handle comfortable enough for a tech turning screws all day?
The Cushion-Grip handle is a CA/TPE build measuring 3.5 inches long by 0.55 inch diameter in black and yellow. That slim diameter is deliberate for fingertip work on small equipment, not for high torque, so it is comfortable for repeated light turning but it is not a driver you lean on.
7) Will this screwdriver hold up in a service bag, or does the blade rust?
The 3 inch blade is S2 steel with nickel chrome plating for rust prevention, which is what keeps it from corroding in a damp truck or tool bag. One caution: do not use it to pry or chisel. The precision shank is sized for driving slotted screws and will bend or snap if used as a lever.
8) What is the exact part number to order the Klein 3/32-inch slotted precision screwdriver?
Order Klein Tools model 6243. It is the 3/32 inch slotted precision screwdriver with the 3 inch shank, sold as a single driver rather than a set, and it weighs 0.07 lbs.
