  • Klein Rapi-Driv: My Go-To for Panel Work

    After years of fumbling with magnetic tips and stripped screws on electrical panels, I finally found a cabinet screwdriver that actually earns its spot in my bag. The Klein 670-6 Rapi-Driv isn’t flashy, but it gets the job done where it counts-those tight spaces inside control panels where you’re working at awkward angles and can’t afford to drop a screw into a live cabinet. The 6-inch shaft gives you enough reach without being unwieldy, and that 3/16-inch tip fits most panel screws perfectly. What sold me is the spin cap-sounds gimmicky until you’re one-handing screws while holding a door steady with your other hand. Klein built this thing for people who actually turn screws for a living, and it shows. Not the cheapest option out there, but I haven’t found better for panel work.
