5/16″ Hex Nutsetter for Power Tools

The Apex MDB-10 nutsetter fits 5/16″ hex fasteners and mounts in any 1/4″ hex bit holder for use with impact drivers or drill drivers. Alloy steel construction handles repeated torque cycles in automotive and general mechanical work. The 2-9/16″ overall length reaches recessed fasteners without excessive overhang. It ships new and ready for immediate use.

Capacity and headroom

The tool engages a single 5/16″ hex size, so it covers that fastener diameter across multiple applications. Alloy steel resists rounding and wear under normal impact-driver torque, but the fixed opening cannot adapt to other hex sizes. Length provides clearance for shallow recesses, yet deep or obstructed fasteners may require a longer socket or extension.

Hex shank and unfinished surface

The 1/4″ hex shank locks directly into quick-change bit holders, eliminating the need for a separate socket adapter. An unfinished surface avoids coating flake-off that can contaminate sensitive assemblies or interfere with torque readings. No additional accessories or software are bundled with the nutsetter.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/4" hex shank on the MDB-10 fit the chuck on my older cordless drill?

The nutsetter has a 1/4" hex shank that fits any standard 1/4" hex bit holder found on most cordless drills and impact drivers.

How can I confirm the nutsetter is engaging the 5/16" hex fastener correctly during use?

The hex power drive should seat fully on the fastener with no wobble; you will feel positive engagement and the fastener will turn cleanly without rounding the corners.

Does the MDB-10 come with any extra bits or a holder, or is it just the single nutsetter?

The package contains the single 5/16" hex nutsetter only; no additional bits, holders or accessories are included.
