Klein Tools 85078 Screwdriver Set, Multi-Application, 8-Piece

Eight Cushion-Grip screwdrivers: 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) and 5/16-inch (7.9 mm) keystone slotted, 5/16-inch (7.9 mm) and 3/16-inch (4.8 mm) cabinet tip slotted, #1, #2 and #3 Phillips, plus a #2 Phillips stubby. That is a general-purpose spread of the most commonly used tips rather than a specialty set.

No. The 85078 drivers are not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock, so they are not a substitute for 1000V-rated insulated screwdrivers on energized work. Use them for de-energized panel, device and fixture work only.

The tips are not magnetized, so a 6-32 device screw won't stay on the blade by itself. They are precision-machined for an exact fit in the screw slot instead. If you want magnetic retention for working one-handed in a box, you'd need to magnetize the tips or pick a different driver.

A cabinet tip has a straight, parallel-ground blade the same width as the tip, so it drops into a recessed or counterbored hole without the flare catching. A keystone tip flares out above the tip for more torque on open screws. The 85078 includes both styles in 5/16-inch, plus a 3/16-inch cabinet and a 1/4-inch keystone, which is why it covers both panel screws and recessed terminal screws.

The handles are rubber Cushion-Grip in yellow and black, and internal flanges inside the handle anchor the blade so it resists twisting loose under torque. Shafts are heat-treated and chrome-plated for corrosion resistance. They are not made for prying or chiseling, which is the usual way a driver gets destroyed on a job.

Klein states the 85078 screwdrivers meet or exceed applicable ASME/ANSI specifications, and the set is made in the USA. That covers the common requirement on MRO and government tool orders for a standards-conforming hand tool.

The #2 Phillips stubby is there for tight work where a full-length driver won't swing, like inside a panel, behind a appliance, or under a cabinet. It's the same #2 tip as the standard-length driver in the set, just short enough to fit the space.

Each driver carries Tip-Ident on the handle end, which marks the screwdriver type and the orientation of the tip. Pulled from a pouch or bucket, you can read the type off the butt of the handle instead of flipping it around.

The set weighs 1.65 lbs and measures 16 x 6.75 x 1.5 inches as supplied, so it lays flat in a bag or drawer rather than needing a dedicated case slot.
