Nut runner

[David HaynesParticipant @davidhaynes53962]

Hi Folks,

 

I want to get a socket head screw that I can use to place and tighten 10BA nuts. The head AF is 0.118″ or and the 2BA socket heads I have are too small. Any suggestions please?

 

Thanks

Dave

Hi David,

 

You can get a miniature nut runner set from Squires Tools which includes a 3.0.

Section 1 page 13.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Dave,

0.118″ * 25.4 = 2.9972 so a socket screw that uses a 3mm hex key should work.

The 4mm socket screws in the Screwfix catalogue use a 3mm key.

Regards Les.

Thanks for your help. The Squires link is very useful; less than £3 for a set of nut runnners. I will be getting one.
