    Switch out worn or damaged bits instead of replacing your entire bit socket. No need for set screws or roll pins to keep these bits in place—they have nylon pellets at their base that compress within the socket for a snug fit. Tap them into hex bit sockets with a hammer. They flex slightly to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools. They can also be used with hand-drive tools.

    With six contact points, these bits handle more torque than slotted and Phillips bits without slipping and stripping the drive.
    Quick-Change Hex Shank—Lock these bits directly into power tools. They won't wobble as much as bits paired with an adapter, so they are the best choice for high-precision tasks.

    Changeable-Head Torque Wrenches

    Change heads to use these tools as an open-end, box, square drive, or hex-key wrench. The handle and head combination you choose may have different maximum torque values. Do not exceed the lower value. The handles come with a calibration certificate, which includes test measurements that confirm accuracy.
    You can tighten fasteners that require less torque than the values listed, but the accuracy ratings apply only within the specified range.

    These sockets are designed to tolerate continuous use with power tools and impact tools in high-volume production and assembly. They’re hardened to resist wear from repeated use, so they’ll last longer than standard impact sockets. The bit is replaceable—swap out a worn or broken bit with one of the same size.
    These sockets require a locking retainer. Use with an impact or power tool that has a pin-style socket retainer, or use a socket retaining ring with tools that have a hole- or hole-and-ring style socket retainer.
