    Ko-ken Special 1/4 Sq. Dr. Short NUT GRIP® Socket — 7/16
    Hold 7/16

    Hold 7/16" Nuts & Bolts Without Magnets (Short 1/4" Drive)

    Ko-ken’s NUT GRIP® design helps you keep a 7/16" nut/bolt captured in the socket so you can start fasteners one-handed and avoid dropping hardware into tight spots. It uses a spring steel ring and two internal balls to hold non-magnetic fasteners firmly—no magnets required.

    Why NUT GRIP® Helps in Real Work

    • Start nuts/bolts in awkward positions without “finger balancing” the fastener
    • Reduce dropped hardware risk in engine bays, under-dash work, and crowded brackets
    • Holds fasteners without magnets (useful for non-magnetic hardware and when you don’t want metal fuzz buildup)

    How It Works (Quick Explanation)

    Inside the socket, two ball bearings on opposing flats are pushed by a spring/coil system. When the nut/bolt enters the socket, the balls press against the fastener and keep it from falling out while you position and start the thread.

    Best Use Cases for This Short 7/16"

    • Tight clearance where a longer deep socket won’t fit
    • Starting fasteners overhead or at odd angles
    • Any job where dropping a nut/bolt would cost time (covers, brackets, guards, accessory mounts)

    Safety Notes

    • Make sure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force.
    • Use hand tools as intended; match torque to the fastener and application.
    • If the fastener is extremely seized, step up to the correct drive size and tool for the job.
