Useful imperial nut driver set

[DRD]

I treated myself to this set on eBay. A few guys sell it, I paid £9.29 for my set including delivery from a different vendor. Good value and does the job very well under and above the playfield. The quality is more than adequate for the low torques required on a pinball machine. I have not tested them in a more challenging environment, but these will stay strictly for my pinballs as I have a draper expert socket set that I use more generally.

it's a real shame they changed to a set with all the handles the same colour, it was a huge advantage when they looked like these. i just reach for the yellow as standard, then it's grey then green.... and after that they hardly ever get used. maybe see if you can get a set from a UK supplier somewhere? or failing that, get painting those handles

And they are no longer hollow shafted so don't go over a long screw.

Steady dan.

I have this set and they get plenty of use but 2 problems, 1) they aren't magnetic so it's very easy to drop screws when removing from awkward places below the playfield and 2) as Andy says they aren't hollow so long screws are a problem. I'll probably treat myself to a few better ones one day, at least the most used sizes.

These are expensive but great. Andy sells the 1/4" magnetic, with hollow shaft.

On the cheap set (like the set in the OP) I got ages ago the 1/4 drive rounded off (it does get the most use) but the magnetic one I got from Andy has been great.
