Nutdriver that fits on 1/4" Ratchet

[Richard D]

Basically a socket extension with a screwdriver handle on it. You can put sockets on one end and a ratchet on the other. I had one I found in a pawn shop. Painted the handle red white and blue so it wouldn't disappear. It did anyway. I found another but I'd like a source so I can buy several.

 

[MrMark]

Snap on makes them.

 

[Richard D]

Hmmm, probably $750 each. Anyone know what this tool is called?

Variation of a spinner handle but with a 1/4 female on handle side.

Basically its a handle cast around an extension. I have a NICE 1/2" drive from HF, never saw another one there, but I keep my eyes open.

Regular extension with a swivel head ratchet does the job too.

 

[PBCampbell]

VIM makes, or at least used to make, these. I believe they called them grip extensions or something similar.

 

[Robbie UK]

Pretty common over here as most tool kits come with one. They are called 1/4" Drive Spinner Handles and cost about £3.

 

[Richard D]

Sears! Talking my language now. So I need to look for a "spinner handle". Thanks a bunch.

 

[karl1672]

I have an older one of these.

Klein has them made in USA. Just bought 4 of them for $20 shipped from Amazon.

I bought the green handled extendable harbor freight version. I cant find a link to it, maybe someone can provide it. Cheap, great quality for the price and a nice handle feel.

This is the only spinner I can find at HF:

Not fond of the telescoping design myself.

Love the German spinners above, but probably not cost effective for the original poster.

 

[powertrip]

Thats the one. Very pleased with mine.

Basically a socket extension with a screwdriver handle on it.

That's a spin handle with a female square drive on the end of the handle. All your truck brands should have them.

 

[SCscoutguy]

I have the Craftsman linked above as well as a Blackhawk GW-9550 but my most favorite is a government contract JS model. They do come in handy for all sorts of things.

[wafrederick]

Matco and Allen make them too,look the same.The Allen is a clear handle with some green and the Matco is a clear handle with some red.

 

[camarotoolman]

I still see them at the fee markets, might get 1 off feebay cheap.

 

[powertrip]

I think the OP is looking for a version with the 1/4" female on the handle end. So it can be used as an extension if needed and not just as a driver. There are several companies who make 1/4" spinner handles without the extension option.

Most everyone posted here has that ability. (Can't speak for Snap-on)

I think everyone posted ones that did just that?

 

[Jawn]

SK makes one too.

[alan camby]

when I saw the title of the thread I was thinking, a Nutdriver set with the 1/4" square on the back. Like 5/16", 3/8", ect... nut drivers. Does anyone make something like this?

This would be great for breaking loose a nut then using the screwdriver grip to remove the nut.

 

[SCscoutguy]

SK makes one too.

http://www.skhandtool.com/sockets-ratchets/40953.aspx

Yea that is the same one that nmk_61802 linked to above. I have one of the older green and white handle SK ones and it is a well built tool.

 

[plung]

Like this? Half of my shaft are for 1/4" sockets and the other are for bits.

 

[jeff g]

Have several, also had one made from a lathe turned handle that press fit over a 1/4" extension. End was counter-bored for the drive end of the extension. Nice thing about this approach, works for any length and size extension except the real short ones.

 

[mikew13]

When it was a kid, my gramps gave me a 6" 1/4" drive screwdriver with a recess on top for a 1/4" drive rachet. Had a transparent orange handle. Tiawanese made. I think I still have it after all these years. That was maybe 1991.

[eborcim]

seriously?

 

[Jawn]

Yea that is the same one that nmk_61802 linked to above. I have one of the older green and white handle SK ones and it is a well built tool.

I missed that. I saw Sears links and passed right over his post. I forgot that Sears had SK stuff too.

 

[Outlawmws]

It won't hell you find a new one, but here is mine. Definitely older than I am. It was my dads and was old when I first used it as a kid. The detent ball and spring are missing and have been as long as I can remember.

And yes it is a little bent; also as long as I can remember.

No makers marks that I can find:

 

[Outlawmws]

I'll be dipped: I lied, I looked with a magnifier and it's a Plvmb (Not too surprised at that, dad had a lot of Plvmb) 4769! Barely visible in the grip!

 

[WR250F]

Why do I read these threads

Now I have to order one of these from S-K

THANKS guys !!

MMMmmmMMMM... a new tool

 

[Richard D]

Klein has them made in USA. Just bought 4 of them for $20 shipped from Amazon.

I screwed up, these can't be attached to a ratchet. I think I'll drill the handle on the lathe and epoxy a cheap socket in the handle.

 

[volunteers]

Matco and Allen make them too,look the same.The Allen is a clear handle with some green and the Matco is a clear handle with some red.

I like Matco's

 

[pacsguy]

Like this? Half of my shaft are for 1/4" sockets and the other are for bits.

What is the model number or part number for this set? Looks like a winner.

 

[buffalobill]

too bad the better manufacturers don't offer some sort of extension set with a removeable handle, so they can be used as a nut driver, or just an extension.

Mac makes some nice extensions that can be ordered as a set, that have nice handles on them, like a screwdriver. 1/4 and 3/8 drive, different lengths. might be worth looking at.
