Square Recess Screwdriver · #2 tip x 8 in shank · Cushioned grip · IDEAL 35-694
What this product is for
This #2 square recess screwdriver is used for driving Robertson-style fasteners commonly found in electrical devices, boxes, panels, and general fastening work. The 8 in (203 mm) shank gives added reach where a standard short-shank driver is not enough.
Use for
Use for panel work, device installation, junction boxes, control cabinets, and other applications where #2 square recess screws are common. It is a practical choice for electricians and maintenance staff who need better access into deeper enclosures.
Avoid for
Avoid using this screwdriver on the wrong recess size, damaged fasteners, or as a pry bar or chisel. This is a standard hand screwdriver and is not represented here as an insulated live-working tool.
Best for
Best for trade users who want a dedicated #2 square recess driver with longer reach and a cushioned handle. The longer shank is especially useful when terminal screws or mounting screws sit behind covers, trim, or wiring congestion.
Installed in
Typically used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work, including switch and receptacle installation, panel trim, control boxes, and equipment servicing.
Why this product exists
This tool exists to give a more secure fit in #2 square recess screws while extending reach to deeper fastening points. Compared with shorter drivers, an 8 in (203 mm) shank can reduce the need for awkward hand positioning in cabinets and enclosures.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a 4 in (102 mm) or stubby driver, this model is better suited to deeper access work. Compared with multi-bit drivers, a dedicated fixed-shank screwdriver is commonly chosen for quicker access and a more direct feel at the fastener.
