Klein Tools P212 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Klein P212 Phillips screwdriver safe to use on live electrical work?
No. The P212 is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock. Treat it as a general-purpose driver and de-energize the circuit before working. If you need a driver rated for live work, you want a Klein insulated 1000V screwdriver instead, not this one.
2) How long is the Klein P212 screwdriver overall, and how deep can it reach?
The shank alone is 12 inches (30.5 cm), and overall length with the handle is 15.625 inches (39.7 cm). That reach is what you buy this one for: getting a #2 Phillips into the back of a deep panel, a recessed box, or past obstructions without pulling equipment out of the way.
3) Will the Klein P212 hold the screw on the tip while I start it?
No, the P212 is not magnetized. The tip is a black-tipped, precision-forged nickel-chrome #2 Phillips, and it will not pick up or retain a screw on its own. On overhead or blind starts you'll need to hold the fastener or use a magnetizer.
4) What screws does a #2 Phillips driver fit, and is that the right size for device and panel screws?
A #2 Phillips is the standard size for receptacle and switch mounting screws, cover plates, and most panel and enclosure hardware, which is exactly what the P212 is cut for. Step down to a #1 for small appliance and electronics screws; go up to a #3 for heavy structural or lag-style Phillips heads.
5) Can I use the Klein P212 to pry open a panel cover or scrape a box?
Don't. Klein specifically warns against using it to pry or chisel. The shaft is round and anchored in the handle by internal flanges for torque, not for side loading, and prying can snap the blade or pull it out of the handle. Wear approved eye protection when using it.
6) Is the Klein P212 made in the USA and does it meet ASME/ANSI spec?
Yes on both counts. The P212 is made in the USA and meets or exceeds applicable ASME/ANSI specifications, which is the line most institutional and government MRO purchase orders are looking for on hand tools.
7) Is the Klein P212 handle big enough to get real torque on a stubborn screw?
That's the point of it. The amber Comfordome handle is 35 percent larger than comparable screwdriver handles, which Klein rates as delivering up to 50 percent extra power. The handle is plastic in yellow, and the smooth dome sits in the palm so you can push and turn at the same time.
8) Will a 12-inch screwdriver shank rust or corrode in a service truck?
The blade is steel, precision-forged and polished nickel-chrome, and the shaft is chrome-plated to help resist corrosion. It weighs 4 oz (113 g), so it rides easily in a pouch or bucket without adding much load.
9) What part number do I order for the Klein 12-inch #2 Phillips screwdriver?
Order Klein Tools P212. It's a single-configuration item: one model, #2 Phillips tip, round shank, 12-inch blade, no finish or size options to specify.
