    Screw-Guiding Slotted Bits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Screwdriver Bits. Screw-Guiding Slotted Bits.
    Drive long slotted screws with zero wobble. A spring-loaded sleeve slips over the screw to keep it straight while you tighten. The sleeve also keeps your fingers off the fastener threads, so you can steer clear of cuts and friction burns. However, since these bits only have two points of contact, they may slip out of the fastener head if you use too much force.
    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.
    Steel—Best for dry environments, since moisture will cause these bits to rust.

    Screw-Holding Screwdrivers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Inset. Screwdrivers. Screw-Holding Screwdrivers.
    When you've only got one free hand to fasten, reach for these screwdrivers. A sleeve on the tip holds the screw in place so it won't fall off while you fasten. Once the screw is started, release the sleeve and finish tightening. These screwdrivers are useful when working above crevices that screws could slip into.
    Cushion Grip—Made of soft plastic to make gripping and squeezing the handle more comfortable.
    Black-Oxide Steel—These screwdrivers withstand occasional moisture.

    With Plastic Sleeve

    Keep bits from slipping. Insert a bit into the adapter, place a screw on the end of the bit, and slide the adapter sleeve over the screw. The sleeve retracts as the screw is driven. Use hex-shank bits (also known as insert bits) in drills and powered screwdrivers.
    Plastic Sleeve—Plastic sleeve is clear so you can see that the bit is making contact.

    Screw-Guiding Phillips Bits

    Drive long Phillips screws with zero wobble. A spring-loaded sleeve slips over the screw to keep it straight while you tighten. The sleeve also keeps your fingers off the fastener threads, so you can steer clear of cuts and friction burns. Phillips bits align easily with fasteners and deliver more torque than slotted bits.
    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.
    Steel—Best for dry environments, since moisture will cause these bits to rust.
