Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and the 300mm nutsetter?

Both are 5/16 inch magnetic nutsetters with the same head and shank. The difference is length: the 150mm version is the everyday bit for general nut driving, while the 300mm version gives extra reach for deep and recessed fasteners. Many trades keep both in the kit.

How does the magnet help?

The magnet holds the nut or bolt head on the bit while you position it, so you can start a fastener one handed without it dropping off. It also keeps small fasteners from falling into awkward spaces on site, which speeds up assembly work.

Will this fit a standard impact driver?

Yes. The 1/4 inch hex shank with a power groove fits the standard quick-change chuck on impact drivers and drill drivers. The Durum nutsetter range is built to handle the high torque output of impact drivers, so it is made for this kind of power tool.

What is the difference between a nutsetter and a socket?

A nutsetter is a long bit with a hex shaped head that fits directly into a power tool, while a socket fits onto a drive adaptor or ratchet. Nutsetters are built for driving nuts and bolts with a drill or impact driver, and the magnetic version holds the fastener on the bit for one handed work.
