Klein Tools 601-4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What shank lengths does the Klein 601 cabinet tip screwdriver come in?
Three: 4 inch, 6 inch and 8 inch shanks, ordered as 601-4, 601-6 and 601-8. All three carry the same 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) cabinet tip, so the choice is purely reach. The 4 inch is the one that works inside a shallow box or a cabinet carcass where you cannot back the handle out; the 8 inch reaches recessed screws down in panel gutters and appliance housings.
2) What is a cabinet tip screwdriver and how is it different from a regular flat blade?
A cabinet tip is a slotted tip with the blade ground straight, no flare out to the shank diameter. On a standard keystone flat blade the tip widens where it meets the shaft, so it will not drop into a counterbored or recessed screw hole. The Klein 601 keeps the 3/16 inch width right up the blade, which is why it gets into terminal screws set down in a device, cabinet hinge screws and recessed hardware. Trade-off: less metal behind the tip than a keystone, so it is not the driver for heavy prying-grade torque.
3) Is the Klein 601 screwdriver insulated for live electrical work?
No. The 601 is not insulated, so it must not be used on energized conductors or terminals. It is a chrome plated steel driver for de-energized work. If you need to work live, you want a 1000V rated insulated screwdriver instead, such as Klein's insulated cabinet tip line.
4) Is the tip magnetic, will it hold a screw?
No, the 601 cabinet tip is not magnetized, so it will not retain a screw on the blade. Overhead device screws and anything dropped into a box will need to be held by hand or started in the hole first. Some electricians prefer that, since a non-magnetic tip will not pick up filings or drag on adjacent metal in a panel.
5) Can I put a wrench on the shank of this Klein screwdriver for extra torque?
No. The 601 has a round shank, not a bolstered or hex shank, so there is no flat for a wrench. Torque comes from the Cushion-Grip handle alone. If a job regularly needs wrench-assisted torque, look for a square- or hex-shank driver rather than this one.
6) Will a 3/16 inch cabinet tip fit standard receptacle and switch terminal screws?
Yes for most device terminal and cover screws, which take a slotted blade in roughly that width. The 3/16 inch cabinet blade seats fully in the slot without the flare that stops a keystone tip from reaching screws recessed in the device body. Check the slot before leaning on it: a tip narrower than the slot will cam out and chew the head.
7) What are the overall dimensions and weight of the 8 inch Klein 601 screwdriver?
Model 601-8 runs 11.75 inches (29.9 cm) overall with an 8 inch (20.3 cm) shank, and weighs 3.2 oz (91 g). That overall figure is the one to check against a tool pouch or a panel door clearance before you buy the long version.
8) Is the handle on the Klein 601 comfortable for all-day use and what is it made of?
The handle is a black rubber Cushion-Grip designed for torque control and reduced hand fatigue over long runs of screws. It carries Klein's Tip-Ident marking on the butt end, so you can pick the right driver out of a pouch by the end cap rather than pulling three of them out.
9) Will the chrome plating hold up in a damp mechanical room or outdoors?
The shaft is heat-treated steel with chrome plating, which gives corrosion resistance and a smooth surface that wipes clean. It is a plated finish, not stainless, so wipe it down after wet work and keep the tip free of standing moisture if it lives in a truck box.
