SO Nut drivers

[RickP330]

I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'd like a 1/4" or 3/8" drive nut driver that I can use with my existing socket sets. All I can seem to find are the complete sets:

Any reccomendations?

I know you wanted some that you can use with your existing stuff, but check out the gear wrench ratcheting nutdrivers. They are excellent.

here is what your looking for

Yes sir, you want a spin handle in 1/4 and 3/8 drive.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Spinner handles are real good to have, i think i have 5 or 6 in various lengths and drive sizes, use them all time. The ones with a drive in the end for a ratchet are very hand too.

 

[ricleh]

I use this combination

and

This gives you a ratcheting 1/4" driver and with an adapter you can turn it into a 3/8" driver also.

I like the M6SA from Mac. It has a female drive end so you can use a ratchet with it and so can be used as an extra extension too:

Armstrong has these in 1/4 AND 3/8 drive.

 

[paramudduck]

Do you have a link for the Armstrong? Also is it really purple or is it my monitor?

 

[Frank Elson]

I have a few 1/4 and 3/8 but cannot find a 1/2 so I'm thinking about getting an extension, grinding the female end and fitting it into a handle.

I've nevet found one with a 1/2" drive. A friend of mine resolved this issue by using a 3/8" spinner handle and a step-up adapter, putting the adapter on the square drive and drilling through it and putting in a roll pin. Still a 3/8", but with a 1/2" permanently attached.

 

[Blacknwhitepit]

I've got two of these, practically unused.

While were on the subject, I will sell them each for $5.00 Shipped to Continental US if anyone is interested.

Not enough companies make them in 3/8 drive; Cornwell used to have some really nice ones and then quit production on them.

 

[G1K]

The armstrong ones are nice, but the yellow handle female 1/4 has spun in the handle.

Snap on als made a really nice 1/4 drive also also with the female in the handle.

Having the square drive at the end of the handle, is nice and useful!

 

[CAT_serviceman927]

The new SO 1/4" driver with the instinct handle doesn't have the female drive end in the handle. I was disappointed when I got my set through school which came with the new one, so I traded for a NOS driver that did have the female end from my SO dealer.

 

[Merkava_4]

The spin handles with the female square drive reminds me of a raspberry jelly filled donut with the little ******* for some reason.

 

[eschoendorff]

I didn't realize that these were that hard to find. Even craftsman has a 1/4 version with the female square driver receiver in the handle. For 3/8, I use these VIM locking spinners. They also have a female driver receiver in the handle. Made in Taiwan, but very nice quality....

Dude, that is nasty and wrong.

 

[Merkava_4]

Dude, that is nasty and wrong.

When I used to eat jelly filled donuts, I'd like to stick my tongue in the little *******.

I'm thinking this needs quoting before the message delete happens in the morning.

You have issue's for sure dude!!

 

[wrenchr]

If something reminded me of an ******* the last thing I would do is lick it!!

 

[eschoendorff]

Man, this thread went south quicker than they usually do...

We went from nut drivers to assholes. What kind of sick bastards are you mofos???!!!

 

[Merkava_4]

You have issue's for sure dude!!

LOL!!!

[Frank Elson]

those are lovely, and they're about ten quid in our money.

 

[RickP330]

Awsome, thanks guys - that is exactly what I'm looking for. Good find on the 1/2" set too. For 20 some odd bucks, how can you go wrong?

I'm sorry, what? How? Why? Oh never mind, i don't even want to know..

You are SO strange..

Nice one! Thanks mate I will do that.

Let us know how it works! We also used a little shim steel to take up any slack between the drives and it turned out to work very well.

Orange handles???

I do have one 1/4" spinner with an orange handle, yet strangely it doesn't have a femal drive. The handle is a replacement and has no part number on it, so i believe it's a DIY jobbie.

Awsome, thanks guys - that is exactly what I'm looking for. Good find on the 1/2" set too. For 20 some odd bucks, how can you go wrong?

You can't!
