Hex Bits

Hex Shank

Hex Shank for Power Tools

These multipurpose bits are strong and durable.

Hex shank bits (also known as insert bits) are used in hand drivers or with a bit adapter in power tools.

Hex shank bits for power tools have a groove in the shank and fit directly into power tools without an adapter. They offer more reach for recessed holes and less wobble compared to a hex shank bit used with an adapter.

Hex Bits for Stainless Steel Screws

Protect your stainless steel screws by using a stainless steel bit. If steel flakes off a standard bit and into the recess, it can lead to rust and contamination. These bits eliminate that risk. They have a groove in the shank and fit directly into power tools without an adapter. Bits offer more reach for recessed holes and less wobble compared to a hex shank bit used with an adapter.
