    Fasten differently sized screws with these sets. They save you the effort of switching three separate bits in and out of a power tool, instead letting you flip between a countersinking drill and a screwdriver bit with a single hand. You can also attach your own countersinking drills and screwdriver bits as long as they have a 1/4” hex shank.
    Countersinking drills have an 82° angle, allowing inch-sized flat- and oval-head screws to sit flush with the surface.

    Drill, countersink, and drive screws without switching three separate bits in and out of your power tool. With a single hand, flip between drilling countersunk holes and driving screws. The countersinking drill and screwdriver bit are secured with set screws, so you can switch them out for any bits with a 1/4” hex shank.
    The countersinking drill has an 82° angle, allowing inch-sized flat- and oval-head screws to sit flush with the surface.
