12-inch slotted screwdriver
The Klein Tools 409-602-12 is a general-purpose slotted screwdriver with a 3/8-inch tip and a 12-inch shank length. Overall length measures 17 1/4 inches. The chrome-coated shank provides corrosion resistance for workshop durability.
Suited for deep-reach fastening
This driver suits technicians who need extended reach into recessed housings or electrical enclosures. Builders who require insulated, ESD-safe, non-sparking or magnetic tip features should look at other models because this tool provides none of those protections.
Sustained torque through chrome shank
Under continuous turning force the chrome-plated shank resists rounding and corrosion, maintaining tip engagement. The ergonomic handle distributes pressure evenly during long driving sessions so the tool remains controllable without slipping.

Questions about this item
What screw slot width does the 3/8 in tip on this 409-602-12 driver fit?
The 3/8 inch wide slotted tip engages standard slotted screws of the same width, common on electrical terminals and older hardware.
Can the 17 1/4 in overall length reach deep recesses past obstruction?
Yes, the 12 inch shank plus handle gives 17 1/4 inches total reach for fasteners set back behind panels or inside enclosures.
How do I confirm the chrome shank resists corrosion after first use?
Wipe the shank dry; the chrome coating should show no rust or pitting when stored in normal indoor conditions.
