Cabinet Tip Screwdriver · 3/16 in Tip x 3 in Shank · Cushioned Grip · IDEAL Industries 35-183
What this product is for
The IDEAL Industries 35-183 is a cabinet tip slotted screwdriver for electrical and maintenance work where a narrow blade profile helps reach recessed or closely spaced slotted screws. It is commonly used on terminals, devices, panels, and control components.
Use for
Use for slotted fasteners that need a 3/16 in tip and a 3 in shank, especially where a cabinet tip fits better than a wider keystone blade. Suitable for electricians, maintenance staff, and contractors working in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.
Avoid for
Avoid using this screwdriver as a pry bar, chisel, or on fasteners that require an insulated or VDE-rated tool. It is also not the right choice for Phillips, Robertson, Torx, or damaged screw heads.
Best for
Best for precise hand tightening and loosening of slotted screws in tighter spaces, including terminal blocks, device screws, and electrical assemblies where blade width matters.
Installed in
Typically used in electrical panels, junction boxes, control cabinets, switchgear-related service work, and general electrical rough-in or maintenance kits.
Why this product exists
This cabinet tip pattern is made for access and control. Compared with a wider slotted blade, the narrower cabinet tip can help reach screws set deeper into devices or surrounded by hardware, while the cushioned handle improves grip during repeated service work.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a longer cabinet tip screwdriver, this 3 in shank length gives more control in tighter working areas. Compared with a keystone tip, the cabinet tip is narrower near the end for better access to recessed slotted screws. As typical trade guidance, shorter shank screwdrivers are commonly chosen where clearance is limited, while longer shanks help reach deeper-set hardware. Actual fit depends on screw geometry and working space.
