Irwin IWAF3412516 Magnetic Nutsetter 5/16 in Hex 12 in

Product Description

The IRWIN IWAF3412516 is a magnetic nutsetter bit designed for use with power screwdrivers and impact-ready drivers in trade and construction applications. It accepts a 1/4 inch hex drive and features a 5/16 inch hex tip for driving hex-head fasteners, sheet metal screws, and similar hardware. At 12 inches overall length, it gives installers extended reach in deep cavities, tight enclosures, and recessed electrical boxes without requiring an extension. The built-in magnet retains the fastener on the tip during positioning, reducing dropped hardware on the job. HVAC, electrical, and general construction trades rely on this style of nutsetter for panel work, equipment mounting, and ductwork assembly.

This nutsetter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 5/16 inch hex fastener and extended reach are required. The 12 inch length is particularly useful when working inside electrical panels, air handler cabinets, and structural framing where standard-length bits cannot reach. It is compatible with any 1/4 inch hex power driver, cordless drill, or quick-change chuck accepting standard hex shank bits.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by trade professionals including electricians, HVAC technicians, and carpenters using standard 1/4 inch hex driver chucks. Ensure the driver is set to an appropriate torque setting to avoid stripping fasteners or damaging the bit tip. Inspect the magnetic tip before use and replace the bit if the tip shows rounding or wear. No special tools or codes apply beyond standard fastener-driving practices.
