    anniel747  Laughing  The nut driver is for 5mm and looks just like the one beacon_dave provided a picture of.  The driver fits into a 11mm socket HOWEVER...  none of them will work as the base of the drivers all spin.  As Dave alluded to, this "mod" would be a cut and weld.

    If I were to do this for real, I would use a 2" extension drilled axially.  Chop off the spinning end and insert the driver into the drilled hole.  Tap lightly with the wire fed welder and file for aesthetics.
    I don't know whether I should be proud or ashamed that I know how I would make that tool - if I was so inclined.  "That boy just ain't right." Joy

    You could perhaps market that as a 'torque limiter' design feature though...

    Alternatively could turn it into an impact socket 'pin drive' type coupling by drilling a hole perpendicular to the shaft to allow you to drop a pin through both it and the existing Tommy Bar hole in the driver. Turn a groove in the shaft over the hole to locate your rubber O-ring to hold the pin in place.

    Allows you to quick-change the nut driver after shearing its end off every time you use it. Joy

    kmikemoo Why not simply *** out the black part (business end) then weld that directly to the impact wrench?
