This is the Klein 605-6 — a cabinet-tip slotted screwdriver with a 3/16-inch tip and 6-inch round shank. ‘Cabinet tip’ means the tip is ground parallel rather than tapered, so the full width of the blade seats into the slot on a device terminal — the classic electrician’s slotted driver for receptacles, switches, and panel screws where a tapered tip would cam out.
It’s the slotted driver that lives on a tool belt because it’s the one that fits device terminal screws without slipping out and damaging the brass. The cushion-grip handle gives consistent torque without hand fatigue, and the 6-inch shank reaches into a box or panel without the handle hitting the faceplate.
Klein Tools has been making hand tools for electricians and tradespeople since 1857, headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The Journeyman and Standard pliers lines — along with many of Klein’s cushion-grip screwdrivers — are forged and finished in the United States, and clearly marked as such, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
