Irwin IWAF242516GB10 Magnetic Nutsetter Bit 5/16 in Hex

Product Description

The IRWIN IWAF242516GB10 is a magnetic nutsetter bit designed for use with power screwdrivers and impact-ready hex-shank tool systems. It features a 5/16 inch hex drive size and an overall length of 1-7/8 inches, making it a compact, direct-drive solution for fastening hex-head fasteners in tight or standard clearance applications. The magnetic tip retains the fastener during positioning, reducing drop and fumble time on the job. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors use this bit type routinely when driving sheet metal screws, machine screws, and hex-head self-tappers in panels, ductwork, and equipment enclosures.

This magnetic nutsetter is suited for residential and light commercial service work where a compact bit length is preferred over extended-reach configurations. It fits standard 1/4 inch hex quick-change chucks found on cordless drills, impact drivers, and dedicated power screwdrivers. The 1-7/8 inch overall length keeps the bit close to the chuck face, which is advantageous in confined spaces such as electrical boxes, junction panels, and mechanical cabinets. Sold as a single bit per package.

Installation Notes

Insert the 1/4 inch hex shank fully into the tool chuck before driving to ensure positive seating and prevent bit wobble. Verify the fastener head matches the 5/16 inch hex drive before applying power. Use appropriate torque settings on the tool to avoid fastener or material damage, particularly on sheet metal applications. This bit type is installed and serviced by general tradespeople including electricians and HVAC technicians working with panel and ductwork fasteners.
