Where did you find it? I need a driver and a remover. I just messed up my 4th cap nut trying to drive hangar bolts today.

You but it in just like you would a bit. I like the bigger unit of this screw driver. Even tho the electric part hasnt worked in a decade, the larger/wider handle of it makes it easier to use and easier on your hands.

To remove them i just use the two wing nuts. It helps when you drill pilot holes before putting them in. And it helps to keep them as straight as possible.

I use this. It fits #8-32 which is what i use.

Awesome, thank you Godofgods. I'm actually trying to remove a hangarbolt from a piece right now and having a heck of a time. I think the wing nuts would work great.

if the bolt goes in at a bad angle or such then they can be hard to remove even with wing nuts. But for ones that go in correctly, wing nuts are pretty great. I cant imagine using something else.

This one isn't in at an angle, but it's stuck in a knot.
