Proto JP0216RF Phillips Screwdriver No. 2 20.25 in Oal

Product Description

The PROTO JP0216RF is a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver built for professional trade use in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical service work. It features a 16-inch round shank blade and a 4.25-inch handle, giving it a 20.25-inch overall length that reaches deep into equipment enclosures, panel boxes, and tight mechanical assemblies. The round shank design allows a wrench or pliers to be applied near the blade for added torque when breaking loose stubborn fasteners. At 0.35 pounds, it is light enough for extended overhead or confined-space work without fatigue.

This screwdriver is suited for residential and commercial service applications where long-reach access is required. HVAC technicians use long-shank drivers when working inside air handler cabinets, furnace heat exchangers, and equipment with recessed screw locations. Electricians reach for this style when fastening conductors inside deep panel enclosures or junction boxes. The No. 2 Phillips tip is the most common drive size encountered across sheet metal screws, equipment covers, and electrical fixtures in the field.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before using any hand tool inside a panel or energized enclosure, following applicable NFPA 70E and NEC guidelines. Shut off gas supply and allow components to cool before servicing furnace or boiler assemblies. Inspect the tip before use and replace the tool if the Phillips tip shows rounding or wear, as a damaged tip can strip fastener heads and damage equipment. This tool is intended for hand use only; do not use it with a power driver or impact tool.
