Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the Draper Hexagonal Insert Bit made from?

The bit is constructed from high-quality chrome vanadium steel, which is hardened, tempered, and finished with a shot blast for enhanced durability and resistance to wear.

What size is the hexagonal head this bit is designed for?

This specific bit features a 3mm head size, meaning it is intended for use with screws that have a 3mm hexagonal socket.

What is the overall length of the bit?

The bit measures 75mm in length.

What type of drive does this bit have?

It features a standard 1/4" Hex drive, making it compatible with most common power tools and manual screwdriver handles.

How many bits are included in a pack?

This insert bit is supplied in a pack containing 2 pieces.

Can this bit be used with impact drivers?

Yes, due to its hardened and tempered construction, it can be used with impact drivers, provided the driver has a 1/4" Hex chuck and the screw is appropriate for impact driving.

How should I maintain the bit for longevity?

Wipe the bit clean after each use and store it in a dry environment. Periodically inspect for wear and replace if damaged to avoid damaging screw heads.

Troubleshooting

Bit cam-out or slips during use

Ensure the bit is fully seated in the screw head and that the screw itself is clean and undamaged. Apply firm, consistent pressure. Verify that the bit size (3mm) precisely matches the screw head.

Bit appears to be wearing quickly

Check for excessive force or improper angle during use. Ensure the screw head is not damaged. Hardened bits can still wear over time with heavy use; consider a higher-spec bit if usage is extremely demanding.

Bit does not fit driver/handle

Confirm that the driver or handle has a 1/4" Hex chuck or holder. Ensure no debris is obstructing the tool's receiver.
