Klein Tools 6956INS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Klein slim-tip Phillips insulated screwdriver rated for live electrical work?
It carries a 1000V rated orange insulation layer and meets or exceeds ASTM F-1505-16 and IEC 60900:2018, the two standards electricians look for on insulated hand tools. Klein still states the safe practice: de-energize lines and equipment where possible, keep the tool clean and dry, and inspect it before every use. Never touch the uninsulated portion or a conductive object near an energized source.
2) Will an insulated screwdriver fit into a tight terminal block, or is the insulation too bulky?
That is the point of the slim-tip design. The insulated blade runs flush with the tip instead of stepping down short of it, so it drops into tight terminal blocks and crowded panels where a standard insulated driver's shoulder would bind. It also reduces nicking the insulation on the way in.
3) Which Phillips tip sizes does the Klein slim-tip 1000V insulated screwdriver come in?
Two Phillips sizes: #1 (part 6956INS) and #2 (part 6936INS). Both are the 6-inch round shank slim-tip version, so the only decision is the tip you need for the terminal screws you are driving.
4) Is the tip magnetic for holding screws in a panel?
No, the tip is not magnetized. If you want magnetic hold for retaining screws overhead or deep in an enclosure, the MAG2 magnetizer is the listed accessory for these drivers.
5) Is this Klein insulated screwdriver made in the USA for a government or institutional spec?
Yes, the slim-tip 1000V insulated screwdriver is made in the USA, and it is marked with the international 1000-volt rating symbol that safety programs require on tools that may contact energized sources. It meets or exceeds ASTM F-1505-16 and IEC 60900:2018.
6) How do I tell which insulated driver I grabbed without looking at the tip?
The handle uses Klein's Tip-Ident marking, which shows the tip type and its orientation on the end of the grip, so you can identify a Phillips from a slotted or square driver in a pouch and know how the blade is oriented before it reaches the screw. The handle is black rubber Cushion-Grip over the orange 1000V insulation.
7) Is the shank round or hex, and does that matter for an insulated driver?
Round shank. There are no wrench flats, so you cannot put a wrench on it for extra torque, which is correct for an insulated tool anyway. Torque comes from the cushioned handle instead. The build is steel with plastic and rubber handle components.
8) How heavy is this insulated screwdriver for all-day pouch carry?
7.5 oz (213 g). Light enough to live in a pouch, with a 1-1/4 inch cushioned grip that gives you leverage for higher torque on tight terminal screws without a hot spot in your palm.
