Klein Tools 602-12 Keystone Tip Screwdriver 12 in

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 602-12 is a heavy-duty flathead screwdriver built around a keystone-style tip for high-torque slotted fastener work. The 3/8 inch tip seats firmly in wide slotted screws and terminal lugs common in electrical panel and conduit work. A chrome-plated tempered steel shank runs 12 inches in length for extended reach into enclosures and deep junction boxes, bringing the overall length to 17-7/16 inches. The cushion-grip handle absorbs torque and reduces hand fatigue during repetitive driving. This tool meets ANSI and MIL specifications and is a standard in the pouches of licensed electricians and general tradespeople.

The 602-12 is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where deep reach and positive tip engagement matter. It handles terminal screws, panel wiring, switchgear fasteners, and general-purpose slotted applications encountered during rough-in, trim-out, and service calls. The 12 inch shank provides clearance to reach fasteners recessed behind conduit runs, wire bundles, or equipment flanges without repositioning.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted screwdriver for electrical, construction, and maintenance applications requiring a 3/8 inch keystone tip and extended 12 inch shank reach.

Installation Notes

This screwdriver is used by licensed electricians and general tradespeople for installation and service tasks on slotted fasteners. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before working inside panels, enclosures, or switchgear in accordance with NFPA 70E and applicable local codes. Inspect the tip for wear or rounding before use — a worn tip can slip and damage fastener heads or cause injury. Do not use as a pry bar or chisel; the shank is designed for rotational torque only.
