Milwaukee Tool 48-22-2562 5.5mm Hollow Shaft Nut Driver

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-22-2562 is a 5.5mm hollow-shaft nut driver designed for fastening hex nuts and bolts in tight or deep-reach applications. The hollow shaft allows the tool to pass over long threaded rod or stud assemblies without bottoming out, making it particularly useful on electrical panels, control cabinets, and mechanical assemblies. A built-in magnetic tip holds fasteners securely during placement. The chrome-finished steel construction provides durability under repeated use in field conditions. At 7.2 inches overall length, it gives technicians adequate reach without sacrificing control. The tri-lobular handle delivers a positive grip and comfortable torque application even in awkward positions. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers frequently carry this size for sheet-metal screws and equipment-panel hardware.

This nut driver is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 5.5mm hex fasteners appear on electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, conduit fittings, and similar hardware. The hollow shaft design is especially practical when driving nuts onto threaded studs that extend beyond the fastener face. The red tri-lobular handle is easy to identify in a tool pouch or bag. Sold individually, it integrates into existing hand-tool sets or serves as a dedicated replacement for a worn or lost driver of the same size.

Key Features

• 5.5mm drive size fits standard hex nuts and bolts common on equipment panels and enclosures
• Hollow shaft accommodates long threaded studs and rods without bottoming out
• Magnetic tip retains fasteners for single-hand placement in confined spaces
• Chrome-finished steel shaft resists corrosion and wear under field conditions
• Tri-lobular handle provides secure grip and efficient torque transfer
• 7.2-inch overall length balances reach and control for typical service tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 5.5mm nut driver suitable for hex fasteners found on electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixtures, and light commercial mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers during equipment installation and service. Always de-energize electrical panels and equipment before working on fasteners near live circuits. The non-insulated shaft means this driver is not rated for live electrical work and should not be used as a substitute for an insulated tool where NEC requirements apply. Inspect the magnetic tip and shaft periodically for wear or damage that could affect fastener retention.
