Key Features:+ Strong magnet
+ Contoured handle with good grip
If you're a Ricoh or Xerox technician, chances are good that you'll need a 5.5mm nut driver at some point. The Wiha 34154 magnetic nut driver is a good one, and I highly recommend it -- especially if you're getting reimbursed for it so the cost doesn't come out of your pocket.
The 34154 is a longer driver, 360mm from the tip to the end of the handle. It's great for reaching into tight places, and it's not overly heavy. The handle is a soft plastic/rubber combination that provides good grip as well as good leverage.
The magnet in the nut driver is very strong. It easily attracts 5.5mm screws, but you have to be careful when you put it down because the magnet will also easily pick up staples and other small metal objects, including developer particles.
I've had the same Wiha 5.5mm nut driver for almost 10 years now, and the only thing that's changed is that the handle looks slightly dirtier. It still functions just as well, the magnet still works great (with the occasional quick dip in a magnetizer) and the handle still provides just as much grip.
The 34154 nut driver is the only 5.5mm nut driver I use, and if I needed to get a new one, I would buy the same model. It is very reliable and dependable, which is what you need for a nut driver that gets used on a daily basis. This nut driver can be purchased for $21.98 from Wiha, or $22.72 from Amazon.
