Product Description

The IDEAL 35-173 is a heavy-duty slotted keystone tip screwdriver built for trade professionals who need a reliable hand tool for electrical, HVAC, and general service work. The blade is constructed from chrome vanadium steel with a nickel-chrome plating finish, providing corrosion resistance and edge retention under repeated use. The round shank measures 3 inches, matched by a 3-inch blade length. The 1/4-inch handle features a cushioned rubber grip designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended fastener work.

This screwdriver is suited for residential and commercial service applications where a compact, durable slotted driver is required.

Installation Notes

This screwdriver is a hand tool intended for use by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other trade professionals. Always de-energize electrical equipment and verify the circuit is dead before using any hand tool near live terminals. Inspect the handle and blade for damage before each use and replace if the grip is cracked or the tip is worn, as a damaged tip can slip and damage fastener heads or cause injury.
