Klein Tools 6026K – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Klein Tools 6026K screwdriver on live electrical work?
No. The 6026K is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock. De-energize the circuit before you use it. If you need to work on or near live conductors, you need a driver rated and marked as insulated (1000V VDE type), not this one.
2) How does the screw-holding feature on the Klein 6026K work, and when do I actually need it?
A sliding sleeve on the shank mechanically grips the slotted screw head; you engage it with a slide of your thumb, start the screw, then release and drive it with the same tool. It earns its keep on stainless and other non-magnetic screws, and on overhead work like fixtures, device plates and panel covers where a dropped screw costs you a trip down the ladder. The 6026K is not magnetic, so the mechanical hold is doing all the work.
3) What size slotted screws does the Klein 6026K driver fit?
The tip is 5/16 inch (7.9 mm) slotted, which is a heavy cabinet-tip size suited to larger slotted machine screws and lag-type slotted fasteners, not small device or terminal screws. If you are driving #6 or #8 terminal screws, step down to a smaller cabinet-tip slotted driver.
4) Will the Klein 6026K reach down into a deep box or recess?
The shank is 6 inches long with an overall length of 11.19 inches (28.42 cm), so it reaches into deep boxes, enclosures and recessed fixture canopies. Handle is 5.19 inches long and 1.32 inches in diameter, so figure that portion staying outside the opening.
5) Can I hit the end of this driver or use it to pry open a panel?
No. Klein states plainly not to use the 6026K to pry or chisel, and eye protection should be worn when using it. Prying bends the shank and wrecks the sliding screw-holding sleeve, which is the part you paid for. Use a pry bar or chisel for that work.
6) Is a screw-holding driver worth it over a magnetic-tip screwdriver for stainless hardware?
For stainless it is the only one of the two that works. Magnetic tips do nothing on non-magnetic fasteners, and the 6026K is not magnetic at all; it grips the slot mechanically instead. On plain carbon steel screws a magnetized tip is faster and cheaper. Buy the screw-holding version specifically for stainless, brass and overhead work.
7) Is the handle on the Klein 6026K comfortable enough for a full day of high-torque driving?
It uses Klein's Cushion-Grip handle in black and yellow, 1.32 inches in diameter, which is the fatter profile that lets you put real torque into a stuck slotted screw without chewing up your palm. Shank and tip are steel.
8) What is the Klein part number and weight for the 5/16-inch screw holding driver?
Order Klein Tools model 6026K, a 5/16-inch slotted screw holding driver weighing 0.364 lbs. That single model number covers the whole item, there are no finish or length options to specify.
