Cabinet Tip Electronics Screwdriver · 5/32 in x 6 in shaft · Slim shank for recessed terminals · IDEAL Industries 36-245
What this product is for
The IDEAL Industries 36-245 is a cabinet tip electronics screwdriver for slotted fasteners that sit below the surface of terminals, devices, control components, and panel hardware. Its 5/32 in tip and 6 in (152 mm) shank are suited to precision electrical and electronics work where a standard wider blade can interfere with access.
Use for
- Recessed slotted terminal screws in control panels and equipment
- Electrical and electronics service work requiring a slim cabinet tip
- Bench work, instrumentation, and light assembly where tip fit matters
- Accessing deeper-set fasteners with a longer 6 in (152 mm) shank
Avoid for
- Live electrical work unless the task specifically allows a non-insulated hand tool
- High-torque fastening, prying, chiselling, or striking applications
- Fasteners that require Robertson, Phillips, Torx, or ECX drive profiles
Best for
Best for electricians, panel builders, maintenance staff, and electronics technicians who need a narrow cabinet tip to reach slotted screws without the wider flare of a standard keystone blade. A typical buying advantage of this style is improved access around recessed terminals and tighter hardware clearances.
Installed in
Commonly used in electrical panels, control cabinets, terminal blocks, instrumentation assemblies, industrial equipment, and electronics service environments.
Why this product exists
This screwdriver exists for jobs where a standard slotted screwdriver is too wide near the tip to enter a recessed screw location cleanly. The slim electronics-style profile helps the user reach the fastener with better alignment and control.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a standard slotted screwdriver, a cabinet tip profile is narrower through the tip area for better access in confined or recessed locations. Compared with shorter electronics screwdrivers, the 6 in (152 mm) shank gives extra reach but may be less suitable where very compact hand clearance is needed.
