Nut driver bit Wera 05060431001, hex shank 1/4" (6.3 mm), length 50 mm, 1 piece

Metric nutsetter designed for hexagon head screws with a 1/4" (6.3 mm) hex shank. The bit has a total length of 50 mm and features a strong permanent magnet to hold fasteners securely during installation. It is compatible with holders conforming to DIN ISO 1173‑F 6.3 and is suited for use with power drivers and manual bit holders that accept a 1/4" hex drive.

Advantages

The nutsetter provides reliable magnetic retention of nuts and hexagon-head screws, reducing the risk of dropped fasteners. Its 1/4" hex shank fits standard holders and quick‑change chucks, while the compact 50 mm length gives good access in confined spaces. The bit is lightweight and simple to handle for repetitive fastening tasks.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing metric hexagon-head screws and nuts
• Use with cordless or corded drivers and manual bit holders with 1/4" hex sockets
• Work in confined or recessed areas where a short, magnetic bit improves handling

When it may not be suitable

This single nutsetter bit is not intended for heavy-duty torque applications where impact drivers or larger socket tools are required. It is a single-use bit (one size) and therefore not suitable when multiple sizes are needed on a job without additional bits.

Key specifications

• Drive type: 1/4" (6.3 mm) hex shank
• Head type: Metric hexagon nutsetter
• Length: 50 mm
• Shank shape: Hexagonal
• Weight: 20 g
• Magnet: Strong permanent magnet for bit tip

How to use

Insert the 1/4" hex shank into a compatible driver or holder until it seats securely. Place the magnetic tip onto the hexagon head of the screw or nut, then operate the driver at appropriate speed and torque for the fastener and material. Remove the bit from the driver after use and store it in a suitable bit holder to prevent damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the screw or nut size matches the nutsetter's hex profile
• Ensure your driver or holder accepts a 1/4" (6.3 mm) hex shank
• Consider whether a single-size bit meets your needs or if a set with multiple sizes is preferable

Usage recommendations

For best results use with a driver that allows controlled torque settings and maintain a straight alignment between driver and fastener to avoid rounding. Clean the magnetic tip regularly to ensure reliable retention of small nuts and screws.
