Apex mda-14 Magnetic Power Drive Nutsetter 7/16 Inch

Product Description

The APEX mda-14 is a magnetic power drive nutsetter designed for fast, secure fastening in sheet metal and light-gauge applications. Built around a 6-point socket configuration, it accepts 7/16 inch hex fasteners and fits a standard 1/4 inch hex drive power tool or drill. The magnetic retention holds fasteners in place during placement, reducing dropped hardware on the job. At 2 inches overall length (OAL), it fits in tight spaces without sacrificing reach. This nutsetter is the type of accessory used daily by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers driving self-tapping screws into ductwork, panels, and enclosures.

The mda-14 is suited for SAE sheet metal screw applications in residential and commercial settings. Typical use cases include securing duct sections, junction box covers, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels where a 7/16 inch fastener head is standard. The 1/4 inch hex shank gives it broad compatibility with impact drivers, cordless drills, and quick-change bit holders common on every service truck.

Installation Notes

This nutsetter is installed and used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers as a standard drive accessory. Insert the 1/4 inch hex shank fully into the tool chuck or quick-change holder before use to ensure secure seating. Inspect the magnetic tip periodically for metal debris buildup, which can reduce retention force. Use at tool speeds appropriate for the fastener material to avoid cam-out or fastener damage.
