Square-Recess Screwdriver · #1 tip, 4 in shaft · Cushioned-grip handle · IDEAL Industries 35-691
What this product is for
This hand screwdriver is used for driving and removing #1 square-recess fasteners, commonly called Robertson screws in Canada. It is suited to electrical trim-out, device installation, panel work, and other fastening tasks where a dedicated #1 tip gives better engagement than a multi-bit tool.
Use for
- #1 Robertson or square-recess screws
- Electrical devices, cover plates, boxes, terminals, and light mechanical fastening
- Recessed screw locations where a 4 in (102 mm) shank helps with reach
- Service bags and everyday electrician hand-tool kits
Avoid for
- Fasteners requiring insulated or VDE-rated tools
- Impact driving or prying applications
- Larger square-recess screws that need a #2 or #3 tip
Best for
Electricians and maintenance technicians who regularly work with Canadian-style Robertson fasteners and want a dedicated #1 driver with a cushioned handle for grip and control.
Installed in
Not an installed product. Commonly used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work across Canada.
Why this product exists
A dedicated square-recess screwdriver helps reduce slip and improves tip engagement compared with using an incorrect driver profile. For trade use, that typically means better control on device screws and less chance of damaging the fastener recess.
Compared with similar products
Compared with multi-bit drivers, this fixed-tip screwdriver is simpler and faster when #1 Robertson screws are used repeatedly. Compared with longer drivers, the 4 in (102 mm) shank is a practical everyday length for panels, boxes, and general service work.
