Someone has GOT to have these in a set....HELP!

[07Forester]

So, a long time back I bought this fairly expensive Husky Pro tool set. in it had these hex bit "nut driver" type bits. Talking to my snap on guy...he doesn't have ANYTHING like them in a set. The ones I have left don't work at ALL for me considering i've lost most of them. When I DID have them I would put them in an electronic screwdriver of sorts and use them ALL the time. If you have any ideas where to get them PLEASE let me know.

Home Depot, Lowes, Harbor Freight all have them.

Harbor Freight sells several sets.

I was looking for something along the lines of SO/Mac/Matco/Cornwell...etc.

I seriously doubt those useful Husky bits were US made. Let us know what you find. Good luck.

I have some metric ones made by Bosch. But they're made in Taiwan. Still very good though.

At this point, I don't really care where it's made. I just want the set. I'm not one to HAVE to buy EVERYTHING US made. However, mostly everything I own IS US made.

Like I said...at this point it matters more to me to HAVE them then where they were made.

I need metric

My Bosch ones are metric, unfortunately i only have them in 6/7/10/13mm.

 

[07Forester]

Anyone know the "official" term for them?

 

[alex71]

Craftsman makes them too

Yes they do. US made, too. I have two sets. They're all over ebay.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Nut setters, apparently.

 

[d33pt]

I only see sae on the website, im fairly sure the mechanics set i keep in my car has both though.

 

[senlow]

Apex makes really good ones.

not to point out something stupid but you know they make 1/4 and 3/8 adapters for those so you can just stick a socket on them right?

By the way depending on how much torque you're putting on them, i'd get a decent brand [dewalt/milwaukee]. I've rounded off the shank of the no-name brands many times.

Anyway home dope and the like sell the above, they're a couple of bucks. Then you can use whatever the heck you want.

If it were that easy...i'd just use my nut drivers all the time. However, being able to slip something in an electronic screwdriver makes life EASIER.

already said my piece on the no-name brands, i really recommend not wasting your money. The shanks will round off before you can say 'garbage'.

I'm hoping one of the big truck slingers will come through this thread...Please!

Exactly what I was thinking. I just bought a set this winter to do 1/4 3/8 and 1/2. Gets me more use out of my sockets.

I received several of the Craftsman ones when I bought one of those large sets. They had no flank-drive feature.
