Klein Tools 32596 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What tips and driver sizes does the Klein Tools 32596 8-in-1 HVAC screwdriver actually include?
Eight drives in one tool: 1/4-inch and 5/16-inch magnetic hex-head drivers (the patented head slides back and forth to switch between them), 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch hollow-shaft nut drivers, a #2 Phillips, 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) and 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) slotted tips, and a specialty bit for TR-4 Schrader valve cores.
2) Will a magnetic hex driver hold 5/16 sheet metal screws while I work one-handed in a duct chase?
Yes. Both hex-head sizes on the 32596 are magnetic, so a 1/4-inch or 5/16-inch sheet metal screw stays on the tip while you start it overhead or down inside a chase. The 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch nut drivers are hollow-shaft rather than magnetic, which is what you want for running down on threaded studs.
3) Can I use this on a thermostat or a live control board?
It is built for thermostat installation and control work, but it is not an insulated tool. Klein's own warnings say never use it on or near live electrical circuits, and not to pry or chisel with it. De-energize the circuit first; if you need to work live, you need a rated insulated driver instead.
4) Will the Schrader bit on this driver remove a TR-4 valve core on a condenser service port?
Yes, the specialty bit is made for installing and removing common TR-4 Schrader valve cores, which is the core used on HVAC service ports. It means you can pull a core and run the panel screws with one tool instead of carrying a separate core tool.
5) Does the sliding head stay put, or will it shift under torque?
A thumb nut locks the tip setting once you slide the head to the size you want, so it does not creep between 1/4-inch and 5/16-inch while you are driving. The Cushion-Grip handle is what carries the torque.
6) Is the Klein 32596 short enough to work in a tight air handler cabinet?
Overall length is 7.5 inches (19.1 cm), split between a 4.313-inch (11 cm) handle and a 3.25-inch (8.3 cm) shank, at 1.25 inches across the handle. That is a standard-length driver, so figure on about 3-1/4 inches of reach past your knuckles. It weighs half a pound.
7) Can one driver cover both the sheet metal screws and the hex nuts on a rooftop unit?
That is the point of the 32596. The sliding magnetic head handles 1/4-inch and 5/16-inch hex-head sheet metal screws, the hollow 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch nut drivers run down on protruding studs, and the #2 Phillips plus two slotted tips cover thermostat and control terminals. For a service van or an MRO cart it replaces several single-size drivers.
8) What is the exact Klein part number to order for the 8-in-1 HVAC Slide Drive driver?
Klein Tools model 32596. That is the full HVAC Slide Drive 8-in-1 screwdriver/nut driver with the yellow and black Cushion-Grip handle; there are no size or finish choices to specify.
