Having reviewed most Milwaukee screwdrivers and nut drivers, we wanted to try their pass-through nut drivers. Milwaukee Magnetic HollowCore Nut Drivers feature a thread-thru design that lets the tool drive its way up threaded rod to fasten nuts at an unlimited depth. It also works just as well for long bolt applications. The magnetic driver head helps keep the tool on the work material—even if you let go.

Milwaukee Magnetic HollowCore Nut Drivers – The Big Deal
We know electricians who have cut the backs off their nut drivers and drilled out the core with a drill press so they could slide them up and over 3/8″ threaded rod. This greatly speeds up the process of hanging uni-strut. Dedicated nut-driving tools often cost a lot more than most Pros want to pay.
The magnetic driver head on the Milwaukee Magnetic HollowCore Nut Drivers features a multi-fastener or universal design. It fastens onto Square, 12-point, 8-point, and even HEX nuts. Milwaukee claims the cushion grip and ergonomics give them an edge when removing rusted and stripped bolts.
For extra leverage, the new drivers feature wrench-ready forged chrome hex steel shanks. You can put a wrench on the shaft and crank on it to break free a stuck nut. The Milwaukee Magnetic HollowCore Nut Drivers, like Milwaukee’s other hand driving tools, are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
