Stanley 66-161-A Slotted Screwdriver 1/4 in Blade Acetate Handle

Product Description

The STANLEY 66-161-A is a standard slotted screwdriver built for general fastening and service work across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and light mechanical trades. The blade measures 0.25 inches wide and 1.5 inches in length, with a 3.5-inch overall length that keeps the tool compact and maneuverable in tight service panels and junction boxes. The round shank provides a consistent grip surface, and the acetate handle delivers firm hand control during both light and moderate torque applications. At 0.131 pounds, this is a carry-everywhere hand tool suited for daily service kit use.

This screwdriver is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where a compact, standard-slot driver is needed. Typical applications include terminal screw fastening on control boards, thermostat wiring connections, electrical panel work, and general equipment assembly or disassembly. Its short blade length makes it well suited for recessed screw access in confined enclosures and equipment cabinets.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize electrical equipment and confirm voltage is absent before using any hand tool near live terminals. Follow applicable NEC guidelines when working inside electrical enclosures or control panels. Inspect the blade tip before use and replace if worn or damaged, as a deformed tip can slip and damage fastener heads or cause injury. This tool is intended for manual use only and should not be used with a power driver or impact tool.
