Ideal Industries 78-0111 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the IDEAL 78-0111 nut setter fit a cordless drill or an impact-ready driver chuck?
The 78-0111 has a 1/4 inch hex body, so it drops into any standard 1/4 inch hex chuck or bit holder, including multi-bit screwdrivers and power drills. The shank carries a power locking groove, so it will also seat in a quick-change holder that grips on the groove rather than friction alone.
2) What size hex nut or screw head does the IDEAL 78-0111 magnetic nut setter drive?
It is the 1/4 inch nut setter, so it drives 1/4 inch hex head screws and nuts, the size used on most sheet metal screws and self-drilling hex-head fasteners in duct, strut and panel work. The 1/4 inch figure is the drive socket size, and it is also the shank size, so don't confuse the two when ordering other sizes in the family.
3) Is the 78-0111 long enough to reach a recessed hex screw?
Overall length is 2 inches, which is a standard short nut setter. That reaches a fastener sitting flush or slightly recessed, but it will not get down into a deep channel or past a raised flange. For that you need an extended-length nut setter or a bit extension in the drill.
4) Does the magnet actually hold the screw so I can start it one-handed?
Yes. The socket is magnetized, which is the point of the 78-0111 over a plain hex socket: it holds a 1/4 inch hex head screw in the driver while you set it overhead or at arm's reach on a ladder. It does not replace a screw-holding sleeve for very long fasteners, but for standard sheet metal screws it starts them one-handed.
5) Should I buy the single carded 78-0111 or the 10-pack clamshell?
Two pack options are sold: 78-0111 is the single carded piece, and 78-0111-10 is the 10-count clamshell. Crews that burn through nut setters on hex-head sheet metal screws, or MRO stockrooms keeping a service van and a shop bin stocked, go for the 10-pack. One carded piece suits a single job or a tool bag top-up.
6) Is this nut setter hardened enough for repetitive drilling, or will it round out?
The body is custom heat treated for strength and durability, and the socket is machined to tight tolerances so it seats squarely on the hex head. A close fit is what keeps a nut setter from rounding the fastener, which is the usual failure mode on production work. It is still a consumable, so on high-volume runs stock spares.
7) Can I use the IDEAL 78-0111 in a hand screwdriver instead of a drill?
Yes. The 1/4 inch hex shank fits standard multi-bit screwdriver handles as well as power drills, so the same nut setter works for hand-tightening a hex-head screw in a panel where you cannot get a drill in.
