I need to drive a bunch of 3" screws. Is this adequate or is the longer 6" version of this tool better?

This tool is perfectly adequate for 3" screws, as is the longer 6" version! The proper size depends on how far away the driver drill is away from the work, and at what angle. You get more leverage and control with the 3" version, but a little more versatility with the longer one in that you can drive at a steeper angle, and further away from the work. Hope this helps! I would recommend putting both sizes in your tool box. Best, John

There are different drill bit packagesyou can buy. This will fit most anything youd use. 3/8 is how wide the drill will open to fit bits. By normal they mean your standard bits. So this will fit most of them. Youhave to get pretty big to not fit this which honestly youd need amore powerful drill for those applications anyhow. Hope this helps but if not take a trip to your local Lowes or what have you & ask them what bits & drills will fit a 3/8 driver. You will see it is your standard stuff

The three inch is pretty easy on your hand even at max. Since max is probably like 2 or 3 on their 6". The 6" however is painful at times but man does it work. Really just keep in mind the 3" is not very powerful and that it heats up quickly. It is a useful tool at times though.

I drove multiple 6" 3/8" lag screws into 4x6s with ease using a craftsman socket & porter cable adapters. If your adapter will survive the torque, I'd say your lug nut will be removed. TMac

3 MM allen & T15 torx work best, but a 7/64" allen will do in a pinch. that said, i doubt you'll ever need to adjust it more than once or twice through the years

I have the cheaper Milwaukee tool and it is not near the quality as this one. It started making noise after a short time. So i bought this tool and it has proven to be problem free. I have driven many 3" long drywall screws in wood using this tool with a Milwaukee impact driver and still no problems.

They will work... they are not sized as a wrench or nut driver... they are round but are aggressively made with sharp points to grab even if the hole is completely rounded. The problem here is these are QUITE SMALL and are made for removing very small screws. You can see by the image that they resemble "jewelers" screwdrivers 2-56, maybe up to 4-40, 6-32 is too large. Anything larger than 4-40 is probably not going to work. These work best on screws that are rounded off because someone was using a metric in lieu of a standard and vice-versa and the screw is not really imbedded with rust or threadlock for 30 years etc. Just want to emphasize, they are for tiny screws.

I believe it was 3/8th or 11/32, I used a hand nut driver. Im not sure if that is the proper name for the tool. However it is like a screwdriver.

Absolutely. As long as you're trying to drive the screw into something it's intended for. An iron I-beam? No. A 4x4 wood beam? Yes. I've actually used this bit for 6 inch decking screws, worked fine.

Hi, It is 6mm. Hope this helps. In general, I am disappointed be the lack of a dimensional description for these little motors. They should give shaft diameter, length, flange mounting screw thread, and bolt circle, body length and diameter. All this information would help. Jim

Hello Harold,Using 3/16" drill works fine.I would not use any drill larger due to possible strain on motor. Best regards, Paul

Most readily available screw driver bits are 1/4" (6mm). The Teeny Turner uses standard 3/16" (5mm) bits.

This is not the right tool for sustained commercial use. I use it on the job, on a "now and then basis".The battery pack and short bits limit your access in tight spots. There are smaller screwdrivers that you might consider for tight spots.And I agree with Mr. Helsper about DeWalt, Ryobi and Skil, any of them are a better choice for guys who need something with more torque and sustained use. Aim for at least 18 volts. Get some longer bits for tight spots too!

I've used it on a 4.6L and saved me time because a adjustable wrench will not grip it correctly without rounding out the corners. The tool is cheap and worth it. Took me less than minute to loosen and remove.

Absolutely. I've had this tool for about two years and it hasn't yet let me down. It drives brands up to 3/4" with ease and I believe it's rated for up to two inches. I had an older model that required oil and it would jam at the most inconvenient of times. This one does not require oil and it's a pleasure to use. BUY IT!!

Yea,that's about right.You need a lot of leverage when using a torque wrench.Smaller than the Craftsman 1/2" clicker type I've had for years.Works well so far.Only downside is I use it rarely so install/uninstall battery with every use.

We just used small Phillips screw driver. I don't know the exact size but it says "fuller-300" on the handle. Hope this helps.
