Dewalt DW2218 Magnetic Socket Driver 1/4 in Hex

Product Description

The DEWALT DW2218 is a magnetic socket driver designed for fast, secure screw driving in professional trade applications. The 1/4 inch hex shank seats firmly in standard power drills and impact drivers, while the integrated magnet holds fasteners in place during placement and drive. At 1-7/8 inches in length, this driver fits into tight spaces without sacrificing control. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for this type of accessory when running sheet metal screws, self-drilling fasteners, and hex-head screws across a wide range of materials and assemblies.

This socket driver suits residential and light commercial installations where speed and bit retention matter. Common applications include securing ductwork flanges, electrical panel knockouts, junction box covers, and structural fasteners on framing or equipment pads. The compact 1-7/8 inch length makes it practical for use in cordless drill drivers and impact drivers on job sites where longer accessories would foul against adjacent structure or equipment.
