Stanley 66-162-A Slotted Screwdriver 3/8 in 12 in Blade

Product Description

The STANLEY 66-162-A is a standard slotted screwdriver built for heavy-duty fastening tasks where reach and leverage matter. The 12-inch blade extends from a round shank and terminates in a standard slotted tip, sized at 3/8 inch wide. The acetate handle provides a firm grip and resists solvents and oils commonly encountered in trade work. Overall length measures 17.25 inches, giving technicians the extended reach needed for deep cabinets, junction boxes, and equipment panels. This tool is appropriate for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and maintenance professionals who work in confined or deep-access installations.

The STANLEY 66-162-A suits residential and commercial service work where a long-reach slotted driver is required. Typical applications include tightening or loosening terminal screws, equipment cover fasteners, and panel hardware in situations where standard-length drivers cannot reach. The extended overall length of 17.25 inches and the 12-inch blade make it well suited for deep electrical enclosures, equipment cabinets, and access-restricted mechanical spaces.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades. Always de-energize electrical circuits and follow NFPA 70E safe work practices before using any hand tool inside live panels or enclosures. Inspect the blade tip for wear or deformation before use, as a damaged tip can slip and damage fasteners or surrounding components. Do not use this screwdriver as a pry bar or chisel.
