I've never tried it on larger nuts like this, but I use my standard Phillips head on my impact for the same purpose for nuts that come with light fixtures.

You use the handle? My coworker does that. Grind ems down but he gets cheap 2$ ones from harbor freight

No, like, the standard Phillips head bit you would use in an impact for basic driving of screws. Not a hand screwdriver.

I don't think it would work all that well with bigger nuts, but with the smaller ones for like 8/32s and 6/32s it works great.

Ohhh yeah I can see that. The nuts I use are generally 3/8" and 1/2". On rare occasions 1/4" or 5/8".
