Nut Spinners

Is there such a thing as a deep nut spinner that works !
Have just had another set from Amazon and still not deep enough for removing the posts, I have 2 imperial sets which are fine for the nuts, but not deep enough for the posts, even the deep one I got today is too short.
I am now using a small spanner to wind them out, but takes so long.
I am not too sure of the size, I think they are 1/4" I have filed a 6mm spanner which now just about fits the base of the post.
Many Thanks
 
Im Sure I bought a set of hollow shaft drivers with my titan order once. They’re great and deep throat a long shaft like a boss

I am talking about pinball, I think you are talking about something on xHamster :)

I can't find any anywhere, none of them tell you how deep the hollow bit is.......
 
Deeper than these?

Thanks, I have the sockets and they also can't get into the tight space such as the one next to the wooded rail.
I wanted to find these sort of things, need a imperial set.

A hollow nut driver will not go over that mini post , if that's what you are removing.
You need a 1/4 magnetic bit holder and with a 6mm drill boar it out till it goes over the post.

There is nothing on the market apart from a quarter spanner to remove that post.

I have ordered a 4th set, £70 these ones so let's hope they do the job.

I have just seen the ones at Pinball Heaven, have ordered those £60 for 3 !
If they don't work I will do this and yes trying to get the mini posts out, I have just used a spanner for now, most are out, but want the correct tool to put them all back.
Many Thanks

Like I have said, nut drivers go over the thread of a post but not the post itself.

That would be great as I can't keep buying these sets, I must of spent £150 on nut spinners !
I do have those magnetic holders bits, but not a drill press.
Will send you a message
Many Thanks
