Proto JC31605RF Slotted Screwdriver 3/16 in Cabinet Tip

Product Description

The PROTO JC31605RF is a slotted cabinet-tip screwdriver built for trade professionals who need precise, controlled fastener work in tight or finished surfaces. The cabinet tip style features a blade that tapers to a narrower profile than a standard flat tip, making it well suited for driving fasteners in recessed or countersunk applications. The blade measures 3/16 inches in width and 5 inches in length, with an overall length of 9 inches. The round shank and ergonomic handle provide a secure grip and consistent torque transfer during extended use. At 0.15 pounds, this is a lightweight, single-hand tool intended for daily professional use.

This screwdriver is suited for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trade work where a slotted cabinet-tip driver is required. The 4-inch ergonomic handle accommodates a full palm grip for medium-torque fastener driving. The round shank allows a wrench or pliers to be applied at the shank for additional turning force when needed. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work involving slotted fasteners in panels, junction boxes, fixtures, and equipment enclosures.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

De-energize all electrical equipment before driving fasteners in live panels or control enclosures, in accordance with NFPA 70E lockout/tagout procedures. Select the correct blade width to match the fastener slot to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Inspect the blade tip for wear or rounding before use; a damaged tip reduces torque transfer and can damage fastener heads. This tool is intended for manual use only and should not be adapted for power driver applications.
