Klein Tools K38 Slotted Screwdriver 3/16 in Tip

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS K38 is a slotted screwdriver built for trade professionals who need a durable, properly sized hand tool for fastening and driving tasks. It features a 3/16-inch wide tip, an 8-inch shank, and an overall length of 11-3/4 inches. The shank is constructed from heat-treated tempered steel, providing resistance to wear and bending under torque. Sold individually, this screwdriver suits electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade contractors working in panels, junction boxes, terminal strips, and mechanical assemblies where a standard slotted drive is required.

The K38 is a general-purpose slotted screwdriver suited for residential and light commercial service work. The 3/16-inch tip fits common slotted fasteners found in electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment access panels, and plumbing fixture hardware. The 8-inch shank provides reach into recessed fastener locations without sacrificing control. This tool is appropriate for any trade technician who carries a standard screwdriver set on the job.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before using a screwdriver inside panels, enclosures, or terminal blocks, in accordance with NFPA 70E and applicable NEC requirements. Inspect the tip for wear or rounding before use — a damaged tip can slip and damage fastener heads or cause injury. Match the tip width closely to the fastener slot to avoid cam-out. This tool is intended for manual driving only; do not use with a power adapter.
