Stanley 66-018-A Slotted Screwdriver 3/16 in Blade

Product Description

The STANLEY 66-018-A is a standard slotted screwdriver designed for driving flat-head fasteners in general maintenance, construction, and trade applications. The blade measures 3/16 inches wide and 4 inches long, with an overall length of 7-3/4 inches. The round shank provides a solid connection between the handle and blade, and the ergonomic handle — 4-3/4 inches in length — is shaped to reduce hand fatigue during extended use. This screwdriver is a hand-tool staple for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general tradespeople who need a reliable flat-tip driver for terminal screws, panel covers, junction boxes, and field adjustments.

This screwdriver suits a wide range of residential and light commercial trade applications. It is commonly used during electrical work for tightening terminal screws, during HVAC service for accessing control panels and cover plates, and in plumbing for adjusting fixture hardware. The compact 4-inch blade length and manageable overall length make it effective in both open workspaces and moderately confined areas. It is sold as a single unit, making it practical as a replacement or addition to an existing tool kit.

Installation Notes

This screwdriver is used by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople. Always de-energize electrical circuits and verify zero voltage before using any hand tool near live terminals or wiring. Do not use a screwdriver as a pry bar or chisel, as this can damage the blade tip and compromise fastener engagement. Inspect the blade tip before each use and replace the tool if the tip is worn, chipped, or rounded.
