    Create your own tool by attaching these shafts to a handle, or use with socket wrenches and power tools. They have a ball end that allows angled entry to make good contact with the recess when a standard-tip shaft can’t.
    Driver Extension Adapters—Create a tool that’s as long as you need. Attach a driver shaft to a screwdriver, T-handle key, or L-key to extend your reach, or chain multiple shafts together to reach deeply recessed fasteners.

    Reamers for Hole Alignment

    Enlarge holes to correct misalignment and overlap. Misaligned holes often have a narrow entry, so the tapered shape is easier to insert and makes more contact to remove the overlapping material. These are also known as bridge and car reamers.

    Spiral Flute

    Depth Limiting

    These reamers fit in the chuck of drill presses, turret lathes, and other machine and power tools, making them the most common shank type.
    Spiral Flute—Since these reamers clear chips better than straight flutes, they leave holes with a smoother finish. They're better for holes with breaks in the surface, such as a keyway, because they cut continuously across the breaks instead of moving in and out.
    High-Speed Steel—Durable and wear resistant, these are good for general purpose reaming in most materials.
    Left-Hand Spiral—These reamers push chips downward as they cut, so they're often used in through holes.
    Depth Limiting—A collar on the shank prevents these reamers from going too deep into material, protecting your tool's chuck from damage.
