EZ-HOLD Nut Starter

HFS

Well Known Member
A little "gadget" I made to help in starting hex nuts in those (inevitably) hard to reach places.

Appropriately sized socket, with a magnet imbedded at a depth = to ht. of nut, attached with epoxy to a dowel.

EZ-tool

All David's EZ products work great. I use the Adel clamp tool every day.
I actually made a set of sockets like his. Great minds!
 
Handee clamp works pretty good too. Better than the masking tape on a wrench idea (which still works in a pinch).
 
Would be cool to have a set of these with the socket bonded at 90°, 45°, and 0° as shown.

Most of the time, I just use a hemostat.
 
Nuts

I've also had success with a small magnetic pickup. It has a really strong magnet. It holds the nut and washer. I rotate it and the nut starts.
David's product probably works better.
