5/16" Hex Nut Driver for Long Bolts
The Klein Tools 630516 is a 5/16 inch hex nut driver designed to fit over long bolts and studs. Its 3 inch hollow chrome plated shank reaches recessed fasteners on stacked circuit boards or deep assemblies. The cushion grip handle provides comfort and allows greater torque during extended use. Yellow colour coding on the handle end enables quick size identification in a busy tool bag.
Simple Hand Tool Installation
No installation is required beyond selecting the correct 5/16 inch hex size for the fastener. The hollow shank slides over protruding threads, but the fixed 3 inch shank length limits reach in very deep cavities. The patented Tip-Ident marking prevents confusion with other driver sizes during fast-paced work. Users must ensure the hex tip fully engages the nut flats to avoid rounding corners under high torque.
Manual Torque and Reach Limits
Torque capacity depends entirely on the operator's hand strength and the cushion grip's friction. The 3 inch shank length restricts access to fasteners deeper than that dimension unless an extension is used. The hollow shaft design accommodates long studs but offers no mechanical advantage beyond direct manual leverage. Chrome plating resists corrosion but does not increase the structural strength of the steel shank.
