Greenlee 0153 Round Shank Flat Blade Screwdriver, 3/16" x 6"
The Greenlee 0153 is a heavy-duty flat blade screwdriver built for electricians and tradespeople who demand precision and durability on every job. Featuring a 3/16" cabinet-style tip on a round shank with an overall blade length of 6", this steel screwdriver is engineered for limited-access applications where a narrow tip profile is required to reach recessed or closely spaced fasteners. This model is available in a Black or Phosphate Plated finish, so tradespeople can choose the surface treatment that best fits their tool kit while getting the same cabinet tip, round shank, and 6" blade length underneath. The screwdriver exceeds ASME/ANSI specifications, giving professionals confidence in its strength and reliability for demanding commercial and industrial environments. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, the Greenlee 0153 is designed to be a long-term addition to any electrician's tool kit.

Greenlee 0153-21C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between the Greenlee 0153-21C and 0153-22C screwdrivers?
Only the surface finish. The 0153-21C is the Black version and the 0153-22C is Phosphate Plated. Both are the same tool underneath: 3/16 inch cabinet tip, round shank, 6 inch blade length, steel construction. Pick whichever matches the rest of your kit.
2) Will a cabinet tip screwdriver fit the terminal screws inside an electrical panel?
That is what the cabinet tip is for. On a cabinet tip the blade is ground straight, with no flare wider than the shank, so it drops into a recessed or counterbored screw hole and sits between closely spaced terminals without fouling the neighbours. The Greenlee 0153 pairs that geometry with a 3/16 inch tip and a 6 inch round shank, so you get reach into panelboards and enclosures. A standard keystone tip, which flares out at the blade, is the one that will not seat in a deep recess.
3) Is the 6 inch on the Greenlee 0153 the blade or the overall tool length?
The 6 inches is blade length, measured on the round shank, not the overall length with the handle. So figure on 6 inches of usable reach past the grip when you are working down into a deep enclosure or past a dead front.
4) Does the Greenlee 0153 screwdriver meet ASME/ANSI requirements for hand tools?
It is built to the ASME/ANSI standard and Greenlee states the tool exceeds those specifications. That is the spec line to quote if your facility or institutional purchasing policy requires ASME/ANSI conformance on hand tools. Note it is a standard-conformance claim, not an electrical insulation rating, so this is not an insulated or 1000V-rated screwdriver.
5) Should I buy a 3/16 inch cabinet tip or a wider flat blade for panel work?
Go 3/16 cabinet when the fasteners are small device and terminal screws set into recesses, or when adjacent screws are tight together. A wider flat blade carries more torque and suits larger slotted hardware, but it will cam out or ride up on small terminal screws and it will not enter a counterbored hole. Many electricians carry the 3/16 for inside the can and a larger tip for cover and strap screws.
6) Can I standardize my maintenance crews on the same Greenlee flat blade in one finish?
Yes. Both finishes are the same 3/16 inch cabinet tip, round shank, 6 inch blade tool, so you can order one finish across every tech kit and keep the part number consistent: 0153-21C for Black, 0153-22C for Phosphate Plated. Both finishes are chosen for wear resistance on the working tip, so the choice is cosmetic and kit-identification, not performance.
7) What is the handle on the Greenlee 0153 like, and is it marked for size?
A soft, cushioned grip handle, shaped to let you put extra torque on a fastener without chewing up your hand over a long day. The handle is printed with the size, tip type, and length, so you can pick the right one out of a pouch or a drawer without test-fitting three drivers.
8) What is the Greenlee 0153 made of and where is it manufactured?
Steel, with precision-machined tips that resist chipping under repeated use. Country of origin is Taiwan, which is the figure to use if your procurement paperwork asks for it.
