Questions we get asked about this item
Will it hold a 304 stainless screw?
No. 304 and the other austenitic grades are not magnetic, so a magnetised sleeve will not pick them up. Use 410 or 430 where magnetic pick-up matters.
Which length should I order?
38mm is the standard. The 65, 100 and 150mm sleeves are for reaching into a profile or past an obstruction. Sizes 6 to 12 are available in all five lengths; sizes 4 and 5 in 38mm.
