Screw behind the line set, no problem.

They do sometimes snap into the straight position on you when you're trying to manuever them onto a screw head with one hand. As they wear in that isn't as much of an issue.

I keep an 11/32 Nut Driver (Notice Proper Use of Name ) in my instrument case, for motor replacements. The 1/4 wobble goes in my impact and the 5/16 wobble goes in a 6" Irwin extension in my Rear Guard Pouch, Best tool belt ever! Makes climbing thru scuttle holes possible. http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&c...r:12,s:0,i:113

What do you call the nut driver bits and the nut drivers with handles? Thats why I call them nut setters so you dont confuse the two.

I use a lot of phillips screws and, yeah, you want impact rated phillips bits unless you want to hammer and drill out broken bit tips. I broke 4 in a row one day, ruined 3 of the screws to the point that they had to be ground off and drilled out. Bought impact rated bits and I've only broken one in 2 years.

DeWalt, impact rated nutsetters, 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16" and 1/2", a 2" extension and an 8" Irwin locking extension, all ride in the Veto.
Carry all three in my Veto TP. Mag Kleins
Add an 11/32 to your list.
I have 1/4" and 5/16" ones, both 6". I use them both everyday for service and LOVE them. If I did installs and tin knocking I would definitely use the 2" ones.
I keep a 1/4", 5/16" & a 3/8" in my pocket all day i think they are 2 3/4" long. i have a 6" set in my tool kit but i dont use them much. I do service most days and find the med length ones the most useful
