Slotted 3/16 in Round Shank

This Klein Tools 601-8 is a general-purpose slotted screwdriver built with U.S. steel and a chrome-coated round shank. The tip measures 3/16 in and the overall length is 11 3/4 in. It suits trade professionals and DIY users who need a corrosion-resistant driver for everyday fastening tasks.

Check tip fit and insulation needs

Verify that the 3/16 in slotted tip matches the screw heads you intend to drive before ordering. The tool is not ESD safe, non-sparking, non-magnetic or insulated, so it is unsuitable for live electrical work or static-sensitive environments. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive-harm chemicals.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a hand tool the 601-8 generates no measurable heat, produces no audible noise and draws no electrical power during normal use. The chrome-coated shank resists corrosion without requiring active cooling or an external energy source. Performance depends entirely on the operator's applied torque.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Klein Tools 601-8 slotted screwdriver?

The screwdriver is sold as a single unit with a 3/16 in tip, 8 in round shank and cushion grip.

When should I choose the 3/16 in tip instead of a wider or narrower slotted driver?

Select this size when the screw slot measures roughly 3/16 in across; it matches many electrical and general-purpose fasteners.

What does the 11 3/4 in overall length mean for reach and leverage?

The 11 3/4 in length gives extra reach into deep cavities and more turning leverage than shorter drivers.
