Klein Tools 6016 3/16 Inch Cabinet Tip Screwdriver with 6 Inch Round Shank
The Klein Tools 6016 3/16-Inch Cabinet Tip Screwdriver operates as a precision flathead manual hand tool engineered to tighten and loosen slotted fasteners inside narrow electrical terminal blocks, recessed switch boxes, and control panel tracks. Manufactured in the USA from heat-treated alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this 2.40-ounce driver features a 6-inch round shank paired with a 3/16-inch straight-fluted cabinet tip that runs flush with the shank to access narrow clearance openings. Outfitted with an ergonomic Cushion-Grip handle, internal anti-twist flanges, and a Tip-Ident handle cap indicator, this 9.75-inch driver enables industrial electricians and panel builders to apply torque to recessed terminal screws without damaging surrounding panel walls.
Best Used For:
- Control Panel & Terminal Block Fastening: Reaching deep into narrow terminal tracks and electrical relay sockets to secure 3/16-inch slotted terminal screws.
- Recessed Device & Switch Box Trim-Out: Driving faceplate screws and mounting hardware in tight electrical enclosures without scraping box edges.
- Telecommunications & Automation Maintenance: Servicing delicate terminal strips and control modules where slim blade clearance is required.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Flush Narrow Profile Cabinet Tip: 3/16-inch straight-sided tip design permits smooth access into deep recesses and narrow terminal blocks without edge binding.
- Heat-Treated Alloy Steel Shank: Custom heat-treated steel round shank provides high torsional strength and tip wear resistance under heavy manual torque.
- Corrosion-Resistant Chrome Plating: Premium smooth chrome finish protects the steel shank from rust, tarnish, and harsh jobsite chemicals.
- High-Torque Cushion-Grip Handle: Soft-touch rubberized handle overmold absorbs palm pressure and maximizes manual turning torque without hand fatigue.
- Anti-Twist Internal Handle Flanges: Solid internal anchor ribs embedded inside the handle core prevent the steel shank from twisting loose under high load.
- Tip-Ident Quick Identification Cap: Permanent top-cap handle markings provide rapid visual driver profile identification inside crowded tool pouches.

Pro-Tip: Select a cabinet tip driver like the Klein 6016 over a standard keystone driver when working inside terminal blocks and control boxes. The straight-fluted sides of the cabinet tip match the slot width perfectly, preventing the blade corners from gouging surrounding plastic divider walls when applying torque.
