Bearing Drivers

[CatfishXpress]

I was wondering what everyone is using for bearing drivers.

In the past I have used a large socket, but I'm thinking of springing for a real set. I'm looking at the Cornwell.

Harbor Freight, They do the job, they are cheap, can't get hurt, as good as name brands.

The name brands all look like rebadged OTC anyway.

or are they all rebadged lisle's?

I've noticed that a lot of them also seem to come in the same red case.

This may be a stupid question, but what is the difference in bushing drivers and bearing drivers? Are the bearing drivers just bigger?

A: Bushing drivers have a square step and straight sides. Bearing drivers are angled to fit the slope of the bearing race.


I keep old bearing races in a bucket next to the press and I have the standard sets of drivers that have been shown.
