Stanley 66-118-A Slotted Cabinet Screwdriver

Product Description

The STANLEY 66-118-A is a slotted cabinet screwdriver built for precise fastening work in tight or recessed applications. The cabinet-style tip features a 1/8 inch blade width ground to a parallel profile, making it well suited for driving slotted screws in cabinetry, electrical panels, and finish work where a standard taper tip would contact surrounding material. The blade runs 8 inches in length on a round shank, with an overall length of 10.5 inches. The acetate handle provides a firm grip and resists common shop solvents. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and finish carpenters reach for this style when working in confined terminal blocks or junction boxes.

The 66-118-A fits naturally into residential and light commercial service work. The long blade and narrow cabinet tip make it a go-to for accessing recessed screw heads in electrical enclosures, control panels, and equipment access covers. The 2.5 inch acetate handle keeps the overall tool compact enough to store in a standard tool pouch. This screwdriver ships as a single unit and is intended for professional trade use where tip geometry and blade length matter.

Key Features

• Cabinet-style slotted tip — parallel blade edges prevent slipping off recessed screw heads
• 1/8 inch blade width suits narrow slotted fasteners in panels and terminal strips
• 8 inch round shank blade provides reach into deep or recessed fastener locations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted cabinet screwdriver suitable for use with standard slotted fasteners in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and finish carpentry applications where a 1/8 inch tip width is required.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before using any screwdriver inside a panel or terminal enclosure, in accordance with NFPA 70E safe work practices. Inspect the tip before use — a worn or chipped cabinet tip can slip and damage fastener heads or surrounding components. Apply steady axial pressure to prevent cam-out when driving slotted screws. Do not use as a pry bar or chisel; shank and handle are designed for rotational torque only.
