Klein Tools 601-10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a cabinet tip screwdriver do that a regular slotted screwdriver can't?
A cabinet tip has no flare at the end, so the blade is the same width as the shank. The 601-10 carries a 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) cabinet tip, which lets the blade drop into a recessed or counterbored screw hole, down a deep panel opening, or into a tight terminal block where a flared keystone tip would bind on the sides. For heavy loosening on exposed screw heads, a flared keystone tip gives more bearing surface.
2) How long is the Klein 601-10 screwdriver overall, and will the shank reach into a deep panel?
Shank is 10 inches (25.4 cm) and the tool measures 13.75 inches (34.9 cm) overall with the handle. That reach gets a 3/16 inch blade down to screws set well back in a load center, deep device box, or behind a panel dead front without having to pull the cover. Weight is 0.2 lbs, so it is still a pouch tool.
3) Will the Klein 601-10 pick up screws, or do I need a magnetic tip?
The 601-10 tip is not magnetized, so it won't hold or retrieve a dropped screw. If you're setting screws overhead or into a box you can't reach into, choose a magnetic-tip driver or use a screw-holding driver instead.
4) Can I use the Klein 601-10 to pry open a panel cover or scrape paint off a screw head?
No. Klein states plainly not to use it to pry or chisel. The shank is heat-treated and the tip precision-machined for an exact screw fit, and prying bends or chips that tip. Use a pry bar or a scraper and keep the driver for driving. Approved eye protection should be worn in use.
5) Is the Klein 601-10 shank round or square, and can I put a wrench on it for extra torque?
It's a round shank, so there are no flats for a wrench. Torque comes from the Cushion-Grip handle, which is sized for grip rather than wrench assist, and internal flanges inside the handle anchor the blade against twisting. If you need wrench-assisted torque, specify a square-shank or bolster-equipped driver.
6) Does the Klein 601-10 screwdriver meet any dimensional or performance standard for a spec submittal?
Klein states the 601-10 meets or exceeds applicable ASME / ANSI specifications, and the tool is made in the USA. Those two points are what most institutional and government procurement packages are checking for on hand tools.
7) Will the Klein 601-10 hold up in a damp mechanical room or outdoors?
The steel blade is premium chrome-plated, which gives corrosion resistance along with a smooth feel in the hand. That is the usual choice for MRO tools that live in a van or a plant toolbox, though no plating survives being left standing in water.
8) How do I tell the 601-10 apart from the rest of the drivers in my pouch without looking at the tip?
The handle carries Klein's Tip-Ident marking, which shows the screwdriver type and the tip orientation on the end of the handle. Pulled from a pouch black-handle-first, you can see it's a 3/16 inch cabinet driver and which way the blade is facing before the tip clears the pocket. Handle color is black.
