FAQ

Is the MIP 9806 a metric or imperial nut driver? The MIP 9806 is an imperial or SAE tool with a 3/16-inch socket. It should only be used with correctly sized external hex nuts and bolt heads.

What is the benefit of the deep socket? The deep socket allows the driver to engage a nut when part of the screw or threaded shaft extends beyond it, where a shallow socket may not fit correctly.

Why does the driver have a thin-wall socket? The reduced outside diameter helps the socket reach fasteners located inside recessed or confined areas of an RC vehicle.

What improvements are included with MIP Gen 2 tools? Gen 2 tools feature laser-etched size markings and colour-coded identification rings while retaining MIP's precision-ground steel construction, tight tolerances and comfortable hand-driver design.

Can this driver be used with a drill or impact driver? No. The MIP 9806 is a manual hand tool and is not designed for use with powered equipment.

Is this a 3/16-inch Allen key? No. This is a socket-style nut driver for external hex nuts and bolt heads. It is not an internal-hex Allen driver.

Important Notes

• Designed for external 3/16-inch SAE or imperial hex fasteners.
• Not intended for metric fasteners or internal-hex socket screws.
• Confirm the fastener size before use, as RC vehicles may use both metric and imperial hardware.
• Seat the socket fully over the fastener before applying torque.
• Do not use with drills, impact drivers or other powered equipment.
• Keep the socket clean and dry to maintain accuracy and maximise service life.
