Our Professional and Industrial lines of screwdriver bits offer reliability and value to meet the needs of the DIYer and the professional user. Years of research and development have made Exchange-A-Blade a market leader in fastening products. On the other hand, the torsion bit can be compared to a willow tree, it’s flexible, will bend with the wind, and will return to its original shape. An impact screwdriver bit can be compared to an oak tree, it’s very strong and able to withstand tremendous constant pressure but can snap with a strong gust of wind. The torsion bit can withstand sudden high torque jolts without snapping. The solution is a torsion bit-a bit with a hard, durable tip that won’t wear out and with a center body section that flexes very slightly so it can withstand the sudden surges of torque produced when using modern impact drivers. While these improvements allowed bits, usually referred to as impact screwdriver bits, to withstand the rigors of the modern impact drivers, perform better and last much longer, they are still susceptible to breakage-the hardening process makes them stronger but more brittle. IMPACT SCREWDRIVER BITSĪ great deal of research has gone into improving screwdriver bits by improving the quality of the steel and hardening the tip and body of the bit. As the industry has progressed from hand driving screws to low powered drills, to high powered drills, and finally to new modern impact drivers, the standard screwdriver bit is often not up to the task-under the pressure of powerful drills, standard screwdriver bits often break and strip. The evolution of the torsion screwdriver bit STANDARD SCREWDRIVER BITSįor several decades the regular screwdriver bit has gone through a slow but steady transition. The following table compares the durability of standard, impact, and torsion screwdriver bits. It performs best and will last longer, especially when used with a high torque impact driver. How do you know when to use a torsion bit?Īlthough generally slightly more expensive than standard and impact screwdriver bits, a torsion bit is ideal for every job, whether you are fastening by hand, standard low torque drill, or high torque impact driver. These bits usually come in different screw configurations: slot, phillips, hex, torx, square recess. There are three types of screwdriver bits: 1 STANDARD INDUSTRIAL SCREWDRIVER BIT In extremely tough driving conditions, torsion bits will flex rather than break. Torsion bits are designed to stand up to the rigors of heavy duty impact driving.
