Why not?Add a set of nut drivers for your impact, but make sure they aren't magnetic.
what is paella. up road at Wigan we got pies, down in Chester there is Ella, but she don't eat pies.Next week, I'll give you tips on making a paella, and there's no need for safety goggles, honest!
Certainly for many assembly/disassembly jobs of smaller electronic thing having some nut drivers (screwdriver with a socket end) is very handy. I have 5.5mm/7/8/10 as most useful, though 11mm and 13mm are also handy. Also get a 4BA one (1/4" more-or-less) for PC screws and the like.Seems a while since I added anything here...the nut drivers are great
100% upvote for that!Just a quick word on H&S/PPE...I was driving some long screws this week, 150mm pozi 3 screws, with my impact driver. They were easy, but...driver bits can break, or shatter even...dug a shard out of my left lower eye-lid...3 mm up and it would have been in my eye...wear goggles!
I'm embarrassed, because i did the same thing a year ago, and I should have learned my lesson. However, we think the bigger bits won't break...but they do.
Always wear safety specs!
and always wear safety specs!
Whatever you are doing, wear them if there is ANY chance of injury, however remote.
Why not?
The convenience of them holding nuts is far outweighed by the hassle of trying to pick nuts out of the driver. They'd be great if you never had to remove nuts.
Always leave the nut with one or two threads on the bolt/stud. Then remove the driver. Then the nut with your fingers. Easy.
My impact driver isn't generally compliant with such instructions

Got several of them from Aldi when they had thrm in, sorted ctimbo presents for thr old man tooThey were impact rated, on both occasions. They just shattered, not rounded out...
Back to tools worth the money, I just bought a steel tray with magnetic base, from Halfords. Excellent for some dismantling work, and only £8. Undo the screws/nuts /whatever and pop them into the tray...really wish I'd bought this years ago
Limited use for electricians, but invaluable for other work.
So are telescopic magnetitic and spring loaded pick up tools.^^^^^^ I have several of those trays they are incredibly useful!
