    Quick-Change Hex Drill-Bit Countersinks for Wood and Plastic

    Switch bits instead of tools to simplify jobs. These snap directly into drills, power screwdrivers, and other tools that accept a 1/4" hex shank. You can slide the countersink up and down the drill bit and then secure it with a set screw, so one tool will drill countersunk holes for screws of different lengths. These countersinks cut a smooth and even finish in wood and plastic on the first pass.

    Drill Stops

    Drill Stops—Attach with a set screw to stop the counterbore at the exact depth you need. These stops have a ring on the end that rotates separately from the body. When the ring touches your workpiece, it stops spinning to prevent scratches and dents. An opening in the side clears chips from the hole as you cut.

    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.
