Klein Tools P28 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Klein Tools P28 screwdriver insulated for working on live electrical circuits?
No. The P28 is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock. Klein's own warning is explicit about it. If you are working on or near energized conductors, you need a 1000V-rated insulated driver instead, not this one. The P28 is a general electrical and MRO driver for de-energized work.
2) Is the 8-inch in the Klein P28 the shank length or the overall length?
The 8 inches is the shank, measured 8" (20.3 cm). Overall length including the handle is 11.625" (29.5 cm). So figure on nearly a foot of total tool when you are working in a panel or a tight junction box.
3) Will the Klein P28 hold screws on the tip while I start them overhead?
It won't. The P28 is not magnetic, so it won't retain a screw on the tip. For overhead device-plate or panel-cover work where you need one hand free, use a magnetic-tip driver or a screw-holding driver instead.
4) What screws does a #2 Phillips driver actually fit?
A #2 Phillips tip is the standard size for most receptacle, switch, and device-plate screws, plus the bulk of #6 through #10 wood and sheet metal screws. The P28 carries a #2 Phillips tip on a round shank, which is what makes it the default driver on an electrician's belt. Step down to a #1 for small terminal screws and up to a #3 for heavy structural screws.
5) Can I put a wrench on the shank of the Klein P28 for extra torque?
No. The P28 has a round shank, so there are no flats to take a wrench, and Klein specifically warns against using it to pry or chisel. If you routinely need wrench-assisted torque, specify a square-shank or bolster-equipped driver rather than this round-shank model.
6) Does the Klein P28 meet a recognized hand tool standard for institutional tool cribs?
Klein states the P28 meets or exceeds applicable ASME / ANSI specifications, and it is made in the USA. That ASME/ANSI statement plus domestic manufacture is usually what a government, school district, or healthcare MRO buyer needs on file when standardizing a tool crib. It carries no electrical insulation rating.
7) Why is the Klein Profilated handle bigger than a normal screwdriver handle, and does it matter for all-day use?
The Comfordome handle is 35 percent larger than comparable screwdriver handles, which is what lets it deliver up to 50 percent more turning power with less effort. The practical gain is on stubborn, rusted, or painted-over device screws, and on repetitive work where a thin handle chews up your palm. The handle is amber-yellow plastic.
8) Will the Klein P28 tip loosen or spin in the handle after heavy use?
The shaft is anchored by internal flanges in the handle, which is Klein's twist-resistant construction, so the blade shouldn't spin out under torque. The blade itself is precision-forged and polished nickel-chrome with a black tip, and the shaft is chrome-plated to resist corrosion in damp mechanical rooms and outdoor service work.
9) What is the exact Klein part number to reorder this 8-inch #2 Phillips driver?
Order Klein Tools P28. That is the full manufacturer part number for the Profilated #2 Phillips with the 8-inch round shank. Useful to keep on hand if you are stocking a crib and want every tech carrying the identical driver.
