STAINLESS STEEL MAGNETIC HEXAGON NUT DRIVER

Magnetic Hexagon Nut Driver — Every hex-head screw across this Tek 2, Tek 3, Tek 5, stitching, and halter fixing range needs a matching driver to seat it properly, and this magnetic nut driver bit is sized to fit those hex heads rather than being a fastener itself. The internal magnet holds the screw captive in the socket before it makes contact with the work surface, which matters far more than it might sound on a construction site: one-handed positioning, overhead fixing on a roof or ceiling, and working at height all become considerably safer and faster when a dropped screw isn't a constant risk, compared with relying on friction alone to keep a loose screw seated in a plain socket. Getting the size right is the single most important choice when specifying a nut driver - it has to match the across-flats size of the hex head on the screws actually being driven, and because this range spans several head sizes across its Tek 2 through Tek 5 hex-head variants, the correct driver size should always be checked against the specific screw being used rather than assumed universal across the whole range. Depth and clearance matter almost as much as size: a driver socket needs enough internal depth to seat properly over a screw fitted with a bonded sealing washer without the washer fouling the socket or preventing full engagement, worth checking specifically if the job involves washered hex-head screws like the Tek 2 halter fixing or the Tek 3 and Tek 5 washered ranges. Nut drivers of this type are typically made from hardened steel, giving the wear resistance needed to withstand repeated impact-driver use without the socket rounding out or deforming - a real risk with a softer material given how many fixings a driver typically sees over its working life on a cladding or roofing job.

FAQs
Why is it magnetic?
The magnet holds the screw in the socket before it engages the work surface, useful for one-handed positioning, overhead fixing, and working at height where a dropped screw is a hazard.

What size hex head does it fit?
It must be matched to the across-flats size of the hex head on the screws being driven, and because this range spans several head sizes across its Tek 2, Tek 3, and Tek 5 hex variants, the correct size should be checked against the specific screw in use.

Can it be used with washered screws?
A driver socket needs sufficient internal depth and clearance to seat properly over a screw fitted with a bonded sealing washer without the washer fouling the socket or preventing full engagement.

What material is the driver made from?
Nut drivers of this type are typically made from hardened steel, giving the durability needed to withstand repeated impact-driver use without the socket wearing or deforming.
