Robertson Screwdriver · #1 square tip, 5 in shank · cling-fit tip · IDEAL Industries 35-920
What this product is for
The IDEAL Industries 35-920 is a hand screwdriver for Robertson square recess fasteners, using a #1 tip and a 5 in (127 mm) shank. It is commonly used by electricians and maintenance trades for smaller square-drive screws in devices, covers, fittings, and light-duty assembly work.
Use for
- Starting and driving #1 Robertson screws by hand
- Electrical device and cover plate work
- Terminal, enclosure, and control work where a smaller square tip fits correctly
- Service bags and tool pouches where a dedicated Robertson driver is preferred over a multi-bit tool
Avoid for
- Live electrical work requiring an insulated screwdriver
- Fasteners that need a #2 or larger Robertson tip
- High-torque applications better suited to a larger driver or power bit
- Using the wrong tip size, which can increase cam-out and damage the screw recess
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors who want a dedicated #1 Robertson driver with a 5 in (127 mm) shank for controlled hand fastening. The genuine Robertson cling-fit tip is useful where you want the screw to stay on the driver during typical starts in boxes, trims, and equipment covers.
Installed in
This hand tool is used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, including panel work, device installation, maintenance rooms, and service vehicles. A 5 in shank is commonly chosen when you need more reach than a stubby driver without moving to an extra-long cabinet-style tool.
Why this product exists
Canadian electricians regularly work with Robertson fasteners because they centre well and are commonly easier to start and control by hand than many other drive types. A dedicated #1 driver fills the gap where a #2 tip is too large and a precision driver is too small.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a #2 Robertson screwdriver, this #1 version fits smaller square recess screws and helps reduce slippage caused by using an oversized tip. Compared with multi-bit drivers, a dedicated driver is typically quicker to grab and offers a more direct feel in repetitive hand work.
Typical trade guidance: always match the Robertson tip size to the screw recess for better engagement and less cam-out. Actual fit depends on screw manufacturer, wear, and jobsite conditions.
