    Tight-Clearance Flexible Bit Screwdrivers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Screwdrivers. Tight-Clearance Flexible Bit Screwdrivers.
    A flexible shaft bends around obstacles to access screws in hard-to-reach places. These screwdrivers snake into compact machinery where a rigid tool wouldn't fit. However, they may wobble if you crank them too hard. Attach a bit (not included) to drive a variety of screws with a single tool.
    Quick-Change Chuck—Holds bits more securely than a magnet, so they don't accidently slip off. Pull back the chuck to insert a bit; push the chuck forward to lock the bit in place.
    Ultra Grip—Designed for maximum comfort and control. The soft plastic coating and contoured shape reduce strain to prevent cramping and soreness during repetitive tasks. They also guarantee a secure grip.

    Round Shank

    Drill inside walls and between floors to install electrical wiring without cutting extra access holes. The shaft on these bits flexes for a long reach in any direction. To install wire, first strip the end and attach it to the small hole at the tip of the bit. Then pull wire back through the drilled hole. Also known as bell hanger bits.
