Nut Drivers (new or old) show them here

[A&P mechanic]

My most used nut driver size on my Toyota is (drum roll) you guessed it, 10 mm

I have the same Craftsman sets above from Sears. I did not want to modify one of my American made Craftsman drivers, so I picked up one from Ace hardware (nut driver is made overseas, not USA) and cut the handle down yesterday. I had seen stubby 10mm nut drivers but I like the bigger handle. For reference, the Ace handle is 1/2 inch longer than the Cman handle. I normally use my 10mm Cman driver for the bolts holding the plastic cover that hides the oil filter and drain plug. Anyway, now I have a shorter one with big handle and am looking forward to trying it out next oil change.

Old Gen Snap-On sets work great. I don't use them a ton, but they do come in handy in certain applications.





And loaded in a custom tool roll.

Love those, wish I had the metric set, or even the full SAE set.

You seem to have a thing for nut drivers.

Dude......I have a thing for tools, in general (PERIOD!)

I like the Craftsman version with the rubber handle and the clear acetate core. The metric version had a gray core.
It does not have the ball on the handle end. It's more comfortable to me. They feel similar to Klein but are color coded. Hollow shaft.
I don't know what manufacturer made them. They aren't as common to come across.




I don't like posting peoples eBay pictures without permission, so here is a link if you want to see what the set looks like:

Recent arrivals.

At the smaller end, a screwdriver handle makes enough torque. At the higher end, they're good for spinning things in/out for tightening/loosening with a different tool.

Stahlwille 12500N nut drivers 5.5-7-8-10mm

I'd not been especially pleased with the smallish handles of my Felo ones, especially in some sizes, so I tried one of these and soon added the other useful sizes. The handles are well sized for my hand and the specific socket sizes, and they're all the same shaft length. No hex bolster or bar hole in the handle for additional torque though. Size markings on the sockets, and also the end of the handles but quite faint.

Beta 941 T handle nut/socket drivers 8 & 10mm

Partly just an excuse to have classic orange Ts. The bottom socket is 6pt and plenty deep, and the side one 12pt. They're not as ergonomic to spin as hex Ts as that socket is bulkier and protrudes further. The range is no-skip from 7mm to 13mm, but I can't see any need for the torque in 7mm, and they might be a bit unwieldy in the larger sizes (longer, wider, big sockets). The orange colour photographs oddly - on screen it looks quite deep and classy, but to the eye it's brighter, pastel, and flat.

I may have posted these pictures on GJ somewhere else.

Two random ones I pulled out of my collection for this thread lol. One vintage Stanley either 3/8 or 7/16 couldn’t tell as it’s pretty worn off the handle, and a Fuller 3/8.

 

[Etchase]

I like this handle shape. They will go into the new larger nut driver drawer.

Old ones my dad gave me.

I rarely use nut drivers so mine have been relegated to a tool cart rather than my main tool box these days. This early
Snap-On set is SAE and the old Craftsman set in metric live with trim tools, picks, scrappers and other rarely used tools.
