Cabinet Tip Screwdriver · 3/16 in slotted tip · 6 in shank · IDEAL Industries 35-186
What this product is for
This cabinet tip screwdriver is used for slotted screw fastening where access is limited, especially in electrical panels, terminal blocks, control work, and other recessed screw locations. The 3/16 in tip and 6 in shank give electricians added reach without moving to a heavy-duty large-blade driver.
Use for
- Electrical panel and device adjustments
- Terminal screws and recessed slotted fasteners
- Control cabinets and junction box work
- General service and maintenance tasks requiring a narrow slotted blade
Avoid for
- Live electrical work unless the tool is specifically rated and marked for insulated use
- Fasteners requiring a larger keystone blade for higher torque
- Striking, prying, or chiselling applications
Best for
Best for electricians and maintenance technicians who need a slim cabinet tip profile to reach screws inside equipment and enclosures. A cabinet tip is commonly chosen when a standard flared slotted blade may interfere with surrounding hardware.
Installed in
Typically used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical service work, including panels, disconnects, controls, and equipment terminations.
Why this product exists
This screwdriver exists to give better access to recessed slotted screws. The cabinet tip profile stays closer to the shank diameter, helping it fit into tighter spaces than a wider keystone-style blade.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a standard slotted screwdriver, this cabinet tip style is better suited to narrow or deep screw openings. Compared with a shorter driver, the 6 in (152 mm) shank provides more reach for panel and enclosure work. For higher torque on larger slotted screws, electricians may still prefer a heavier keystone-tip driver.
