Hello tool I’ve literally never used in the last four years.

Good morning folks. Welcome back to Tool Tuesday. I’m your host, Kendall. This week we’re talking about the nut driver or hex driver. As you saw in the beginning of the video, I’ve never used this tool before. I had to literally Google, investigate more than I usually do about these things. They’re used to tighten and loosen nuts and bolts, which makes sense. It’s for lower torque applications, so on the tubing.

Basically, on every machine that has dust collection, we’re going to be using the nut driver on stuff like this to tighten and loosen these. Ta-da! So there you have it. Nut driver, hex driver. I think you should always have a manual version of every tool. I generally just use an impact for everything, but you should always have manual versions of those kinds of tools.
