Klein Tools K36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the Klein K36 screw holding screwdriver actually hold the screw?
The blade is split, and it wedges into the screw slot to grip the screw. Blade thickness starts at .043 inch (1 mm) and expands to .085 inch (2 mm) as it spreads inside the slot. That grip lets you start and drive a 1/4 inch slotted screw one-handed, which is the point of the tool when you are reaching into a box or a panel you cannot get two hands into.
2) What size slotted screws does this Klein screw holding driver work with?
It is built for 1/4 inch slotted screws, with a 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) tip. The split blade has to wedge into the slot to grip, so a smaller screw slot will not take the blade and a much larger one will not be held securely.
3) Can I use a screw holding screwdriver to tighten screws down?
No. This one holds, starts, and drives slotted screws, but it is not designed for torquing or tightening, and it should not be used to pry or chisel. Start the screw with it, then finish with a standard slotted driver. Using it to torque down risks the split blade.
4) Is the Klein K36 screwdriver insulated for live electrical work?
No. It is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock, even though it is catalogued for electrical work. De-energize the circuit before using it. If you need to work on or near live parts, you need a 1000V rated insulated driver instead.
5) Is this a magnetic tip screwdriver for picking up dropped screws?
No, the tip is not magnetic. It grips mechanically instead, with a split blade that wedges into the screw slot, so it holds the screw whether or not the screw is ferrous. That makes it useful on brass and stainless slotted screws where a magnetic driver does nothing.
6) When should I reach for a screw holding driver instead of a regular slotted screwdriver?
Use it when you cannot get a second hand on the screw: overhead device boxes, blind holes, behind a panel, or anywhere a dropped screw means pulling the assembly apart. The split blade holds the screw on the tip, starts it, and drives it. For everything else, and for any real tightening, a standard 1/4 inch slotted driver is the right tool since this one is not made for torquing.
7) What are the blade and handle made of on the Klein K36?
Steel blade with a red plastic handle. The tool is made in the USA. The red handle is easy to spot in a tool pouch, which matters when you are standardizing a maintenance crew's kit and want the screw holding driver distinguishable from the standard slotted drivers next to it.
