I got a Craftsman set like that in 2000 or so when I was really looking for a nut driver set. I think that it is much more useful. I'd call it a 1/4" socket set that includes a ratchet and screwdriver handle. A short handle with extensions gives the most flexibility.
3" or 6" shaft?
Yea, theres a question i never thought id ask random strangers' ... ...
Anyway, im looking to get a 3/8" nut driver. Im using it simply enough to remove a 10/24 nut from a hanger bolt.
In this particular case, i have a wing nut on the hanger bolt, upside down, then im useng a regular nut right up against it (like a lock nut). That way i can put reverse pressure on the hangerbolt and the nut keeps it from unscrewing. So the force goes into the hanger bolt and removes it from the wood, and its good for reuse.
After the hanger bolt is out, i have to remove the wing nut and the regular nut. But they are tight against each other. Usually it doesnt come off with hand power. So i use using 10mm socket screw driver thingy to losing it/break the connection. Then i could do it by hand. Trouble was, the socket screw driver thingy was already broke. The plastic on the handle had broken off doing something else. So its ability has greatly decreased. - I was using a 3/8 wrench for a bit. It works, but much more of a pain for this job.
So i was looking at a new 3/8" nut driver. And they had one with a 3" shaft and one with a 6" shaft. Same exact design, tho the 6" was a couple pennies cheaper for some reason... seems odd.. but i wasnt sure which one would be better for this application. I tried searching for it but best i found was 'depends on what you need it for' and 'i got both'.
So now you now the reason. And this tool would likely end up set aside, dedicated for this use mainly. Being used in the open, not a tight space. - So which would be better for this application?

Side question... what the hell is that socket screwdriver thinggie actually called? lol
I was making a video the other day using one during it. But i forgot what its called and kept refering to it as a socket screwdriver thinggie. - While looking for a replacment i found the 3/8" nut driver. So maybe its a socket driver? Im honestly not sure, sadly.

Its has a square end so i can put any number of sized sockets on the end.

I dont rly see anything like this when i looked earlier. This set was bought probably back in the 90's by my dad, i assume. I think it was ever used until recently.
So when we say 'well use it one day!!! ' ... we mean it! might be a 30 year wait, but im using it!

do you have the 1/4 ratchet drive for that kit?
if the nut is "too far" onto the hanger bolt, you'll need a "deep socket" to get to it...
the thingie:
"Spinner Handle" . . .
