This is the Klein 601-6 — a cabinet-tip slotted screwdriver, 3/16-inch tip on a 6-inch round shank. ‘Cabinet tip’ means the tip is ground parallel rather than tapered, so the full width of the blade seats flat into the slot on a receptacle or switch terminal instead of camming out and scoring the brass.
It’s the slotted driver that lives on an electrician’s belt for device work — outlets, switches, panel trim screws, and any terminal where a tapered tip would slip. The cushion-grip handle gives consistent torque through a full install, and the round shank length is sized for reaching into a deep gang box without the handle catching on 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.
