Abbey's Star Nut Setter drives a star nut into a metal threadless steerer tube cleanly and to a consistent depth, so headset preload works the way it should.

Highlights

  • Guide sleeve keeps the driver square to the steerer
  • Hard stop sets a consistent install depth
  • Precision-machined two-piece design
  • Made in Bend, Oregon, USA

Built for a straight install

The outer guide slips over the steerer tube and keeps the driver aligned while the star nut is driven in, avoiding the crooked or over-driven nuts that come from a freehand install with a hammer and drift.

Compatibility & fit

For installing a star nut into a metal (steel or aluminium) threadless steerer tube ahead of fitting a threadless headset.
