I'm just curious if anyone else uses their nut tool with a drill. Any decent drill has an adjustable torque setting, so overtightening is not an issue. Now, this may seem silly, but anyone with over 200 holds on their wall will understand.
I didn't think of using my drill until I removed every single hold from my wall and put them through my dishwasher. Setting hundreds of holds at once is not what I consider to be fun. I just figured that there were some people who hadn't thougt to do it either.
I use a Metoulious Multi-wrench. It's not exactly balanced, but it can save a lot of time.

I've used them for stripping a wall quickly.
When placing, be EXTREMELY CAREFUL not to get the bolt crossthreaded.
What I would do was thread it 1st by hand a bit then crank it down with the driver. with appropriate torque applied, of course.
Makita cordless is great

I use a chordless drill when resetting my wall. I will agree with the crossthreading issue. You need to be careful. Start them by hand first. Also depending on the hold and the drill that you are using you might have to go back and tighen certian holds by hand. I use a 3/8" rachet with the proper hex key attachment. It makes life much easier. I have over 100 holds on my home wall and I completely understand the time saving a chordless drill helps with a reset.

Does the term nut wrench make anyone else flinch? :shock:
but yea, i don't have a wall, but am quite skilled in that kind of building stuff, be sure you are using a variable speed drill, preferably with a break, so that if it does cet cross threaded, you can stop it right away :)

absolutely. as stated before, watch out for cross threading (start it with one or two turns by hand, then drill away) and obviously turn torque down.
