Nut Drivers

Nut drivers appear similar to your everyday screwdriver. The handle and the long neck mimic those of a screwdriver. However, rather than having a tip with a different size and shape bit, it has a hollow shaft. This allows the tool to fit over the actual head of the nut. Once secure, you can use the tool to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts that have a hex-shape design. These are a good option when you have a hex head screw that is stripped, or in hard-to-reach or tight spaces where a wrench is unable to fit. Nut drivers are used by mechanics, HVAC professionals, electricians, and more.

How To Choose The Right Nut Driver

Choosing the right nut driver is important to ensure you have the best tool for the job. First, consider the size of the nuts and bolts you are working with. This will help you choose between metric and SAE sizes. Once you know the correct measurement, you can choose from the more specific styles. For small, intricate work, the micro precision is the best option. Though they are small, they are durable. They are also efficient, as the spinning cap provides fast twisting during use. When working in areas that are difficult to get to, the flexible nut driver is the best choice. The shaft of the driver is made of easy-to-bend materials and allows it to move in ways a typical driver can not. For professionals, like a mechanic, a nut driver set is a great choice, especially one that includes a ⅜ inch nut driver. This is the most common size for automotive use. Get more bang for your buck when purchasing a set that includes multiple sizes of nut drivers.
