    With Ball Detent

    Flip these bits around for a fresh tip or to drive a different size Phillips screw. Phillips bits align easily with fasteners and deliver more torque than slotted bits.
    Also known as insert bits, these snap into hand drivers.
    Steel—Best for dry environments, since moisture will cause these bits to rust.
    Ball-Detent Bit Holder—Bits with a ball detent are less likely to slip out of the holder than ones without. However, they don't slide in and out of the holder as easily.

    Bits have a different tip at each end and snap into the shaft. A ball detent holds the bit in place. To use as nutdriver, remove the bit and turn fasteners with the shaft, which is also reversible.
    Ultra Grip—Ultra-grip drivers have a multicomponent handle that provides comfort and the best possible grip for achieving maximum torque.
    Cushion Grip—Cushion-grip drivers offer comfort and some slip resistance. Bits turn eight screw sizes and the shaft three external hex sizes.
    6 Sizes—For those with six sizes, bits turn four screw sizes and the shaft two external hex sizes.
    Voltage Detector—Those with a voltage detector safely test for AC voltage without contacting live wires. Light and sound indicators alert you when over 50 volts AC is detected. The detector is attached to the tool’s handle; remove it from the handle to use it on its own. Bits turn eight screw sizes and the shaft two external hex sizes.

    When working in tight spaces, these short drivers fit where others can't. Bits have a different tip at each end and snap into the shaft. A ball detent holds the bit in place. To use as nutdriver, remove the bit and turn fasteners with the shaft, which is also reversible and turns two external hex sizes. Drivers have a cushion grip for comfort and some slip resistance.

    Flip these bits around to drive a different size square screw. Well suited for woodworking tasks, they generate just enough force to drive screws into tough materials without risking cracks or splits. Also known as Robertson bits.
    Also known as insert bits, these snap into hand drivers.
    Steel—Best for dry environments, since moisture will cause these bits to rust.

    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.

    Reversible Slotted Bits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Screwdriver Bits. Reversible Slotted Bits.
    Flip these bits around to drive a different size slotted screw. They deliver the least amount of torque compared to other bits and may slip out of the fastener head if you apply too much force.
    Steel—Best for dry environments, since moisture will cause these bits to rust.
    Ball-Detent Bit Holder—Bits with a ball detent are less likely to slip out of the holder than ones without. However, they don't slide in and out of the holder as easily.
