Product Description
Milwaukee #1 Square 3 in. Cushion Grip Screwdriver
Model Number: 48-22-2851
The Milwaukee 48-22-2851 is a #1 Square Drive (Robertson) 3 in. Cushion Grip Screwdriver — a professional-grade hand screwdriver for driving #1 square recess fasteners in cabinetry, trim carpentry, electrical device installation, and finish work where the smaller #1 square drive size engages the finer fasteners used in finish applications that the larger #2 square drive would not fit properly. The #1 Robertson square drive is used with smaller wood screws for cabinet hinge mounting, face frame assembly, trim attachment, and electrical device and cover plate installation where the fastener size is too small for a #2 drive but requires the superior cam-out resistance of the square drive over Phillips in applications where the fastener head is accessible for hand driving. Milwaukee's Cushion Grip Screwdrivers feature anti-peel handle construction with a tactile identification system that allows fast drive size recognition by feel in a tool bag without looking at the tool.
The forged steel shank and precision-hardened #1 square tip maintain the drive profile geometry under the sustained torque of professional screwdriver use — tip rounding is the primary failure mode for hand screwdrivers in trade use, and Milwaukee's tip hardness specification prevents this progressive deformation. The 3 in. blade length is the compact everyday-carry dimension that provides adequate reach for most finish fastener applications — cabinet hardware mounting, electrical device driving, trim screw installation — while fitting comfortably in tool belt pouches and tool bags. The single-piece forged shank construction eliminates the joint failure point of two-piece shank designs, providing the structural integrity needed for the high-torque driving that professional screwdriver use occasionally requires.
Available as part of Milwaukee's full Cushion Grip Screwdriver lineup covering Phillips, Slotted, Square #1, Square #2, and combination drive types in multiple blade lengths — see Milwaukee screwdriver sets for economical multi-piece purchasing.
