Klein Tools SS10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Klein SS10 nut driver on live electrical work?
No. The SS10 stubby nut driver is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock. For energized work you need a driver rated and labeled for insulated use. Treat the SS10 as a de-energized-only tool, and wear approved eye protection with it.
2) How short is the Klein SS10 stubby nut driver, and will it fit inside a panel or junction box?
Overall it's 3.75 inches (9.5 cm) with a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) shaft, so the whole tool is shorter than a standard nut driver handle. That's what makes it work inside panel cans, behind device boxes and under low-clearance equipment where a full-length driver won't swing. If you need to reach a nut more than about an inch and a half deep, go to a standard-length driver instead.
3) What size nut does the Klein SS10 drive?
It's a single-size 5/16 inch hex nut driver. That covers the common 5/16 hex head on panel and enclosure screws, strut hardware and sheet metal screws. There's only one size on the SS10, so if you need a range you'd be buying multiple drivers or a set.
4) Is the shaft on the Klein SS10 hollow so it can run down a long bolt?
Yes, the shaft is hollow, which lets the driver pass over long bolts or threaded studs rather than stopping at the end of the thread. Klein calls out stacked circuit boards and other long-bolt applications for that reason. Bear in mind the shaft is only 1.5 inches long, so the depth of thread it can swallow is limited.
5) Will the Klein SS10 hold the nut on the tip while I start it one-handed?
No. The SS10 is not magnetized, so it won't retain a loose nut or hex screw on the tip. For overhead or blind starts where you can't hold the fastener, pick a magnetic-tip driver. The hollow shaft does help steady the tool once the fastener is engaged.
6) Is the Klein SS10 shaft going to twist loose from the handle under torque?
The shaft is anchored into the handle with internal flanges specifically to resist twisting, and it's steel with a chrome plating to hold off corrosion in damp or outdoor service. Klein states the tool meets or exceeds applicable ASME/ANSI specifications.
7) What is the handle on the Klein SS10 made of, and why is it amber?
It's a plastic Comfordome grip, amber colored. Klein color-codes its nut driver handles by size, so the amber handle is how you pick the 5/16 out of a pouch without reading the stamp. The dome shape seats in the palm for turning torque.
8) Is the Klein SS10 made in the USA, and what part number do I order?
Order it as Klein Tools SS10. Klein lists it as made in the USA.
9) How much does the Klein SS10 stubby nut driver weigh for a service pouch?
2.4 oz (68 g), and it measures 3.75 by 1 by 1 inch, so it takes almost no room in a pouch or a tool roll. It's a reasonable one to stock in quantity for techs who work in panels.
