Ideal Industries 35-406 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Grip-n-Screw feature on the IDEAL 35-406 screwdriver actually do?
The 35-406 holds the screw on the tip so you can start and set it one-handed. It grips slotted screws in the #6 to #12 range, which covers the machine screws used on device mounting and cover plates. Useful when you're working overhead, in a deep box, or up a ladder with one hand on the rail.
2) What size slotted tip is on the IDEAL 35-406, and will it fit standard receptacle and switch screws?
It's a 3/16 inch slotted tip. That matches the slot on standard #6 and #8 device and cover plate screws, and the driver is rated for slotted screws from #6 up to #12.
3) Will the IDEAL 35-406 screwdriver reach into a deep electrical box?
Blade length is 6 inches with a total length of 10 inches, so it reaches devices set back in deep or ganged boxes without the handle fouling the plate.
4) Will this screwdriver chew up my cover plates?
The tip is vapor blasted specifically to keep it from chipping the plate, so it's meant for finish work on wall plates rather than just rough-in.
5) Can I use the IDEAL 35-406 on Phillips or square drive device screws?
No. The 35-406 is a slotted driver only, with a 3/16 inch slotted tip. For Phillips or combination-head device screws you need a separate driver; many device screws are combo head, but this one only engages the slot.
6) Is the IDEAL 35-406 built to hold up in a service van or damp jobsite?
Shank is chrome vanadium steel with nickel-chrome plating for corrosion resistance, so it stands up to being tossed in a pouch or bucket.
