Metallics MT208B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the magnet actually hold a screw so I can start it one-handed?
Yes. The MT208B is a magnetic nut setter, so the socket holds the hex head screw while you reach up into a ceiling or over your head to start it. That is the difference between this and a plain non-magnetic nut driver, which needs you to hold the screw in place with your other hand.
2) Is a nut setter the right tool for driving sheet metal screws, or should I use a hex bit?
A nut setter like the Metallics MT208B is the better choice for hex head screws: it is a socket that surrounds the head instead of a bit that sits in a recess, so it will not cam out and the magnet keeps the screw seated. A hex (Allen) bit is for internal hex sockets, not external hex heads. For Phillips or square drive screws you need a driver bit instead, not this 1/4 inch setter.
3) At 1-5/8 inches long, is the MT208B short enough for work inside a box or panel?
1-5/8 inches is the short, standard length, which keeps the screw close to the chuck for control in tight spots like a panel interior or a device box. If you need to reach down into a deep recess or past a flange, you want a longer setter or an extension rather than this one.
4) How many nut setters come in a Metallics MT208B pack?
One piece per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a van or handing tools out to a crew, order the quantity of pouches you need rather than expecting a multi-pack.
