    Hex Shank

    Quick-Change Hex

    Shank

    A straightforward choice for small-scale jobs. These versatile bits handle everything from installing outlet covers and switch plates to fastening screws in sheet metal. However, since they only have two points of contact, they may slip out of the fastener head if you use too much force.
    Hex Shank—Also known as insert bits, these snap into hand tools. If you want to use them with power tools, attach a bit adapter (not included).
    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.
