Why do you use nut drivers? same reason as screwdriver?

[JerseyBoatBuilder]

Always wanted an excuse to buy hollow shaft nut drivers but never encountered a situation where I wished I had one or needed one..
Until then I will just keep using a 1/4" hex to 1/4" square adapter with 1/4" sockets on a ratcheting screw driver.

Nut drivers work great for installing the pan to automatic transmissions. Since most auto ****** cases are aluminum, nut drivers keep you from stripping out the threads.

I have mine on the wall and I use them when convenience is important. Like you have one hand holding a part together so you can get the fastener started and it would be more difficult to fiddle with sockets and what not. I use mine frequently.

I asked one of the electricians at my job once why he needed so many nutdrivers and he just laughed at me. It seems a whole lot of time and effort is put into wondering why people buy nutdrivers when they could just use a spinner blah blah blah. I stopped wondering the first time I had to reach blind into a train toilet compartment to apply a hose clamp, lost the socket in a soup of commuter turd, and had to finish the job with an open end wrench and a pair of pliers. I stopped at Sears on the way home that day and bought the right tool for the job. Sometimes you need the socket, shaft, and handle to be one solid unit. It's not all that hard to figure out.
