Stanley 66-168-A Slotted Screwdriver 3/8 in 8 in Blade

Product Description

The STANLEY 66-168-A is a standard slotted screwdriver built for heavy-duty fastening tasks in trade and industrial environments. The blade measures 3/8 inch wide and 8 inches long, giving technicians the reach and torque leverage needed for deeper fastener access in panels, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures. The overall length is 13.25 inches. The round shank construction allows a wrench to be applied at the shank for added torque when driving stubborn fasteners. The acetate handle provides a firm, comfortable grip during extended use. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals keep this driver on hand as a standard service tool.

This screwdriver is suited for residential and commercial service work wherever standard slotted fasteners are used. Common applications include tightening terminal screws in electrical panels, securing equipment covers, and general-purpose fastener driving during installation or maintenance of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. The 8-inch blade length makes it practical for reaching recessed screws inside deep enclosures or behind panels where shorter drivers cannot reach.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow lockout/tagout procedures before using any hand tool inside live panels or enclosures. When applying additional torque via a wrench on the round shank, ensure the fastener and driver tip are properly seated to avoid cam-out or fastener damage. Inspect the blade tip for wear or deformation before each use and replace if the tip is chipped or rounded.
