Nut Setters / Metric Nut Setters

A nut setter is a machine tool that fastens metal and self-tapping screws in place. When rotating, nut setters drive fasteners along the edges without exerting pressure on the corners. Fastener corner peeling and damage are reduced.

Rote Mate produces various nut setters for power tools, which have the following features:

• High quality alloy steel, one-piece construction, cold forged, durable under constant use.
• 1/4" driving shank with power groove.
• Used for power driving hex head screws, bolts, and nuts.
• Ideal complements for any electric drill or power screwdriver.

How to use nut setters?

Instead of being used like a screwdriver, nut setters are put into an imprint driver or machine. When using an impression driver to drive lag bolts or lag screws, nut setters are typically employed. Magnetic nut setters are available in a variety of sizes.

When driving a hex head screw, you can use either a nut driver or a nut setter. There is a distinction between the two tools, despite their similarity in sound. It's important to understand the distinction between the terms nut driver and nut setter, which are sometimes used interchangeably and worth to clarify.

Hex nut setters (also known as standard nut setters) drive fasteners by driving them from the corners. Corner stripping can occur if too much pressure is applied to the corners.
