Klein Tools 85153K – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will these Klein screw holding drivers work on stainless steel screws?
Yes, and that's the main reason to own them. The Klein 85153K drivers are not magnetic, so they hold the screw with a mechanical thumb-slide clamp on the tip rather than magnetism. That means stainless, brass, and other non-ferrous slotted fasteners stay put on the tip the same way carbon steel ones do.
2) Are the Klein 85153K screw holding drivers insulated for live electrical work?
No. The 85153K pair is not insulated, so they are not rated for work on energized conductors. Use them on de-energized panels, boxes, and fixture work. If you need to work live, you want a 1000V insulated screwdriver instead.
3) What tip sizes come in the Klein slotted screw holding driver set, and will they fit standard device screws?
Two drivers: a 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) tip and a 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) tip. The 3/16 covers the slotted 6-32 screws on switches, receptacles, and cover plates; the 1/4 handles the larger slotted fasteners like panel and box mounting screws. Both are slotted only, no Phillips or combo tip in the set.
4) How long are the shafts on these Klein screw holding screwdrivers? I need to reach into a deep box.
Shank lengths are 3 inches on the small driver and 4 inches on the large one, with overall lengths of 5.78 inches and 8.38 inches. That's a short-to-medium reach. For a screw sitting at the back of a deep gang box or behind trim, a longer-shank or stubby-plus-extension setup may serve better, but for device screws and fixture canopies the 3 and 4 inch shanks clear fine.
5) Do screw holding drivers actually help with overhead fixture installs?
That is what the mechanism is for. Sliding the thumb collar clamps the slotted screw to the tip so you can start it one-handed over your head, into a ceiling box or a suspended fixture, without the screw dropping while your other hand is supporting the fixture. Once the screw is threaded, release the collar and finish driving. It also works where a magnetic driver would do nothing, which is any stainless or non-ferrous fastener.
6) Can I use these on Phillips or square drive screws?
No. Both drivers in the 85153K set have slotted tips and slotted shanks, and the holding jaws are built around a slot. A Phillips or square head has nothing for the mechanism to grab, and driving it with a slotted tip will cam out and chew the head. Keep a separate Phillips driver for those.
7) How big are the handles on the Klein 85153K drivers? I'm looking for something that gives real torque.
Handle diameters are 0.84 inch on the 3/16 driver and 1.25 inch on the 1/4 driver, with handle lengths of 2.82 and 4.41 inches. The 1.25 inch cushion grip on the larger driver is the one that gives you leverage for tight panel screws; the smaller driver is sized for control in close quarters rather than heavy torque.
8) How many pieces are in the Klein 85153K kit and what is it made of?
Two drivers, both steel with cushion grip handles in Klein's black and yellow. Weights are 1.20 oz for the 3/16 and 3.7 oz for the 1/4, so both ride easily in a pouch. It ships as a set under one part number, 85153K, which is what to quote if you are standardizing tool kits across a crew.
