I would really like to get a couple of sets of nut drivers for my shop, English and metric sizes. Perhaps even two sets as I have a separate electronic work table here in my office. But I want DEEP, hollow shanks: at least 3" or 75mm deep. I just do not see any advantage in having nut drivers when a 1/4" drive socket set, of which I have several, has deeper recesses for the screw/stud than the common nut driver sets do.
There seem to be only a few sets with deep hollows in the shanks, Klein is one. But they all cost $50 or more for a seven or eight piece set. If I am to buy two or four sets, that is just too much. Does anyone know of a decent set of deep hollow nut drivers for a medium price, like perhaps $25 or $30?
If I can not locate such a set, I may just buy one of the inexpensive sets and try to drill out the shanks. Any comments on that would also be welcomed. Chances of success? Best drill bits to use? Etc.
