Klein Tools Insulated Screwdriver, #2 Phillips Tip, Round

Yes. The Klein insulated #2 Phillips screwdriver carries a 1000V rating, with a bright orange layer of impact and flame resistant insulation over the shank, and it meets or exceeds ASTM F1505-16(2021) and IEC 60900-2018. Klein's own instruction is blunt about the limits: never touch the uninsulated portion of the tool or any conductive object that might contact an energized source, inspect the tool before every use, and de-energize the circuit whenever that is possible.

Two shank lengths: 4-inch (model 6834INS) and 6-inch (model 6836INS). Both use a round shank and the same #2 Phillips tip. The 4-inch is easier to control inside a crowded panel or device box where you are working close to the wall; the 6-inch gives you the reach to get to terminal screws set back in a gutter or deep enclosure while keeping your hand further from live parts.

A #2 Phillips is the common size for device and panel screws, which is why it is the workhorse tip for receptacles, switches, cover plates and breaker lugs that take a cross-recess head. The Klein insulated version in this size uses Tip-Ident on the handle so you can tell which way the tip is oriented without looking at it, which matters when you are reaching into a box you cannot see into. Terminal screws that take a slotted or combination head need a cabinet-tip or slotted insulated driver instead.

Yes. The handle has a tether hole, so the driver can be lanyard-attached for work at height. That is a real consideration for utility, tower and elevated panel work where a dropped tool is a safety incident.

This is a fixed-tip driver, not a bit holder: the #2 Phillips tip is part of the shank, and the insulation runs as one continuous layer over it. Insulated 1000V tools are built this way on purpose, since a removable bit would break the insulated barrier. To cover the other screw heads on a panel you buy additional insulated drivers in the sizes you need rather than bits.

The Cushion-Grip handle measures 1.24 inches in diameter and 4.31 inches long, in black rubber over a steel shank. The fat diameter is what lets you put real torque on a stuck terminal screw without the handle digging into your palm. The tip is not magnetized, so screws will not stick to it, something to know if you are fishing a 6-32 device screw into a box one-handed.

The handle is flame retardant and impact resistant, and the orange insulation layer over the shank is itself both impact and flame resistant. It is a tool built to survive being dropped and to not sustain a flame, which is why it is specified for energized work. It is not personal protective equipment, and it does not replace arc rated PPE.

Klein states this insulated screwdriver is made in the USA. For government, utility and institutional procurement working to domestic preference language, that is the sourcing claim on the product; the standards it is certified to are ASTM F1505-16(2021) and IEC 60900-2018.
