Bsc Preferred 167496 Phillips Screwdriver 2x16 in

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 167496 is a Phillips screwdriver built for trade and general mechanical work. It features a round shank measuring 2 inches in diameter and 16 inches in length, giving technicians extended reach in deep cavities and confined installations. The handle is molded from cellulose acetate, a clear transparent material with a blue inlay stripe that provides a firm, comfortable grip during prolonged use. This screwdriver is suited for any trade professional who requires a reliable, full-length Phillips driver for fastener installation or removal in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or general mechanical applications.

This screwdriver is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work. Its 16-inch shank length makes it particularly useful for reaching fasteners in equipment cabinets, electrical panels, air handlers, and other assemblies where standard-length drivers cannot reach. The Phillips tip engages #2 cross-head fasteners commonly found throughout HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and electrical enclosures. It is sold individually and is a practical addition to any field technician's hand tool kit.

Key Features

• 16-inch round shank for extended reach in deep or confined spaces
• Phillips tip for standard cross-head fastener engagement
• Cellulose acetate handle for durable, comfortable grip
• Clear transparent handle with blue inlay stripe for easy identification
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Phillips screwdriver suitable for use across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical service applications requiring a long-reach hand driver.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow lockout/tagout procedures before using hand tools inside panels or live equipment enclosures. Ensure the Phillips tip is fully seated in the fastener head before applying torque to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Inspect the tip for wear before use; a worn tip increases the risk of slipping and personal injury.
