Screwdriver · #3 Phillips tip, 6 in shank · Cushioned grip handle · IDEAL Industries 35-196
What this product is for
This #3 Phillips screwdriver is used for driving and removing larger Phillips-head fasteners in electrical, mechanical, maintenance, and general trade work. The 6 in (152 mm) shank provides added reach into panels, equipment, and assemblies where shorter drivers may not fit.
Use for
Use for larger Phillips screws, terminal and equipment fasteners that call for a #3 tip, and service work where a dedicated full-size screwdriver gives better control than a multi-bit driver. The cushioned grip handle is suited to hand-applied torque and repeated daily use.
Avoid for
Avoid using this screwdriver on undersized Phillips screws, Pozidriv or Robertson fasteners, or where an insulated VDE-rated tool is required. It is also not the right choice where a stubby driver or bit driver is needed for tight-clearance access.
Best for
Best for electricians, maintenance staff, and contractors who need a dedicated #3 Phillips driver for larger fasteners and longer reach. A dedicated tip size is typically preferred when better engagement and torque transfer are needed than a general-purpose multi-bit tool can provide.
Installed in
Commonly used in electrical rooms, commercial fit-ups, industrial maintenance areas, service vehicles, workshops, and general construction tool kits across Canada.
Why this product exists
This tool fills the gap between smaller everyday Phillips drivers and heavier fastening tasks that need a #3 tip. The longer shank helps reach recessed screws, while the cushioned handle improves grip and control during higher-torque hand fastening.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a #2 Phillips screwdriver, this #3 size is intended for larger screw heads and can provide a more secure fit on the correct fastener. Compared with a stubby driver, the 6 in (152 mm) shank offers better reach but needs more working clearance. Compared with a multi-bit screwdriver, a dedicated driver is typically chosen for repeated use and more consistent tip engagement.
