Setup and Bit Installation

Changing Bits

The Klein Tools 11-in-1 Screwdriver features interchangeable components for quick and easy bit changes.

  1. To access or change a bit, firmly pull the metal shaft away from the yellow base of the handle.
  2. The shaft will separate into two parts, revealing the stored bits and nut driver sizes.
  3. Select the desired bit. Bits are double-ended; ensure the correct tip is facing outwards.
  4. Insert the chosen bit into the hexagonal opening at the end of the shaft.
  5. Reassemble the shaft by pushing the two metal parts back together until they click securely into place.
  6. For nut driver functionality, remove the bit and use the hexagonal opening of the shaft directly. The shaft itself offers 1/4-inch and 5/16-inch nut driver sizes. The outer sleeve of the shaft provides a 3/8-inch nut driver size when removed and reversed.
