Klein Tools S8M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What shank lengths does the Klein Tools 1/4-inch magnetic nut driver come in?
Two: a 3-inch shank (model S8M) and a 6-inch shank (model S86M). Both drive the same 1/4-inch hex nut or bolt head. Pick the 6-inch when you need to reach down over a long bolt or into a deep panel; the 3-inch is easier to control in a tight enclosure where you can't swing a longer tool.
2) Will this nut driver hold the nut on its own when I'm working overhead or one-handed?
It will. A nut-holding magnet is built into the shank, so a 1/4-inch nut or sheet metal screw stays seated while you start it overhead or in a panel you can't get a second hand into. That is the difference between this magnetic version and the plain hollow-shaft nut drivers.
3) Can the Klein S86M nut driver run down a long bolt or work on stacked circuit boards?
Yes. The shaft is hollow, so it passes over long bolt or stud threads instead of bottoming out on them, which is what makes it usable on stacked circuit boards and standoff hardware. The 6-inch S86M gives the most travel for that; the 3-inch S8M is shorter reach.
4) How do I tell Klein nut driver sizes apart quickly in a pouch full of them?
By handle color. The Comfordome handles are color-coded by size, so the 1/4-inch reads at a glance without checking the stamp, which is why crews standardizing on Klein buy the sizes as a set. The handle is smooth and domed to sit in the palm for torquing by hand.
5) Will the shaft twist loose from the handle under load?
Internal flanges anchor the shaft inside the handle to resist twisting, and the shaft is chrome plated to hold off corrosion in damp or outdoor service. The tool meets or exceeds applicable ASME/ANSI specifications and is made in the USA.
6) How much does the Klein 1/4-inch magnetic nut driver weigh for a service pouch?
About 2.4 oz (68 g), with a 1 inch handle height and 1 inch width. Light enough that carrying the full range of sizes in a pouch costs you almost nothing.
