An opening at the tip accommodates the pin in the recess of tamper-resistant hex screws. These are also known as pin-in-hex or pin-in-socket bits.

An opening at the tip accommodates the pin in the recess of tamper-resistant pentalobe screws.

A three-winged tip fits triangular slotted screw recesses.

These bits have an offset cross shape. They’re also known as ACR® bits.

Ribs forged into the wings of these offset-cross-shaped bits grip the screw recess to reduce stripping. They are also known as ACR® bits.

Less likely to crack or shatter under high torque than standard bits, these are often used with power tools to install machine screws.

An opening at the tip accommodates the pin in the recess of tamper-resistant hex screws. These are also known as pin-in-hex or pin-in-socket bits.

Grip the indentations on the head of tri-groove fasteners.
