Ok I don’t know the name or remember but I’m fishing for info on some hex/nut driver bits 1/4 & 5/16. A set with mabey 3 or more different lengths that I can use in a drill, a magnetic tip would be nice too… what is the technical name for the bit and what brand is recommended?
Don’t laugh at my topic name ether…lol

Just remember, if you are using it in an impact driver to use the black impact ready nut drivers. The silver ones will break in an impact.
Yeah I prefer the black ones even when I’m using drivers…
Wiha makes some that are 4″, 6″ and 12″ in length.
I like the ones Dewalt makes too.althou I dunno what lengths they make other than the 2 inchers I have.
I havent used them but assume the ones Klein makes are good.
Dont laugh, but Ive been using the Harbor freight magnetic Nutsetters for a while now. I picked up both SAE and Metric 9pc sets for under $10. Its a pretty complete set for the price. I have not had any problems yet, but then again I havent had a situation where I really beat on them with my impact driver.
I hate to say it….I use the Dewalt Impact ready magnetic drivers and love them. They’ve lasted me several years so far.
I had a topic on best 12v and that is what I plan on using em with for the screws in air handlers an condensers… I’m so tired or using my hand drivers when I work on so many AC daily …
nice looking set for the price…KaHuNaZ wrote:

Welcome to my world…
I wouldn’t mind using the harbor freight ones if used on a drill driver screwdriver but would step up to something like the dewalt impact rated if using an impact
