Disston Company 129293 Magnetic Nut Setter 5/16 in S2 Steel 50pc

Product Description

The DISSTON COMPANY 129293 is a 5/16-inch magnetic nut setter designed for fast, secure fastener driving in a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. Built from S2 steel, this nut setter delivers the toughness needed to handle repeated impact and torque without cracking or deforming. The integrated magnet holds nuts and hex-head fasteners firmly in place during driving, reducing drops and improving one-handed placement. At 1.75 inches in length, it fits standard power drills, impact drivers, and hex-shank bit holders. This tub contains 50 individual pieces, making it a practical bulk supply for shop stocking or job-site kits.

This nut setter is suited for residential and light commercial work across electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades. Common applications include driving sheet metal screws, hex-head bolts, and machine screws on panels, brackets, conduit fittings, and equipment enclosures. The 5/16-inch drive size is one of the most frequently encountered hex fastener sizes in trade work. The 50-piece tub format supports tool crib replenishment, fleet truck stocking, or bulk distribution to crews.

Installation Notes

This nut setter is installed and used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanics. Confirm the drive chuck on your tool accepts a 1/4-inch hex shank before use. Inspect the magnetic tip periodically for metal debris buildup, which can reduce holding force. Do not use nut setters as a substitute for impact-rated sockets when applying high torque with heavy-duty impact tools.
