I’m looking for options for either a stubby 11/32” nut driver (if that exists) or a stubby 1/4DR spinner handle. Thanks!

I just have to ask- Is this for the nut that holds a fluorescent ballast in place in the fixture?

11/32 is like the most common size for these nuts but I seldom see this size elsewhere.

If a stubby nutdriver will fit; Why won't a 1/4" drive handle and socket fit?

We use a lot of #8 machine screws at work for various assemblies. Sometimes the spaces can be rather tight.

A stubby 1/4DR handle with socket would work just fine. I think I’m gonna get the Jawco one.

I suspect you may have to make one out of a 1/4" stubby bit driver + 1/4dr. adapter bit + socket to get what you want.

The Chapman stubbies are just stubby handles pressed onto drive attachments with blemished back ends. Its how they sell their blems.

I recently placed an order with them that included two screwdriver extension stubbies:
https://chapmanmfg.com/products/cha...screwdrivers-for-our-bits?variant=45252774990

Since the 3" one was sold out, I bought two of the 4.5" ones, pulled one shaft from the handle, hacksawed a little over an inch from the end, and pressed it back in. ****, I had a new 3" stubby that was otherwise sold out.

If that stubby is exactly what you want, you could buy any stubby from Chapman, and then one of these:

and put the two together.

Like others have said, I simply made my own.

If you contact them they will use an unblemished bit and make you just about any stubby you want (for thier bit offerings) for a couple of dollars.
