Klein Tools 602-8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Klein Tools 602-8 screwdriver safe to use on live electrical circuits?
No. The 602-8 is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock, so keep it off energized work. If you are working live, you need a rated insulated screwdriver instead. The description also warns against prying or chiseling with it, and to wear approved eye protection.
2) What does the 8-inch in the Klein 602-8 refer to, the whole tool or just the blade?
The 8 inches is the shank, not the overall tool. The 602-8 has an 8 inch (20.3 cm) round shank and measures 13.438 inches (34.1 cm) overall with the Cushion-Grip handle. Useful reach into a panel or deep box is the 8 inch shank figure.
3) What size slotted screws does a 3/8-inch keystone tip driver fit?
The 602-8 has a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) keystone tip, a large slotted size suited to heavy terminal screws, lug screws, panel and machine screws with a wide slot. Keystone means the tip flares out to the full blade width rather than being ground down like a cabinet tip, so it carries more torque but will not drop into a counterbored or recessed slot the way a cabinet tip does.
4) Can I put a wrench on the Klein 602-8 for extra torque on a stuck screw?
Yes. The 602-8 has a hex bolster at the base of the shank that reinforces the shank and lets you turn it with a wrench. The Cushion-Grip handle also has internal flanges anchoring the blade to resist twisting under that load.
5) Will the Klein 602-8 screwdriver hold a screw magnetically?
No, the 602-8 tip is not magnetized. For overhead or blind work where you need the screw to stay put, pick a magnetic-tip driver or use a screw-holding driver instead.
6) What is the Klein 602-8 made of and will it hold up in a damp or outdoor service truck?
Steel shank, heat treated, with a premium chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and a smooth feel. The handle is black rubber Cushion-Grip. It is made in the USA and meets or exceeds applicable ASME/ANSI specifications.
7) How do I tell the 602-8 apart from the other Klein drivers in my pouch without pulling it out?
Klein puts Tip-Ident on the end of the handle, so the cap shows the screwdriver type and which way the tip is oriented. On the 602-8 that tells you at a glance it is a 3/8 inch keystone slotted blade before you pull it from the pouch.
8) How heavy is the Klein 602-8 for daily tool-pouch carry?
The 602-8 weighs 8.8 oz (249 g). That is the heft you would expect from a full-size 8 inch shank driver with a hex bolster, and it is what gives it the torque, so it is a pouch tool rather than a pocket tool.
