FAQs
Are these bits magnetic?
No, these bits are designed for non-magnetic screws and do not have magnetic properties themselves. The holding mechanism is spring-loaded.
What types of screws can I use with these bits?
They are ideal for non-magnetic screws such as stainless steel, brass, and aluminium screws. They are specifically sized for PH2 Phillips head screws.
Can I use these with a manual screwdriver?
While designed for electric screwdrivers and drills, they might function with a manual screwdriver if the handle allows for sufficient grip and torque application.
How do I clean the screw holder bit?
Wipe the bit with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dust and debris. Ensure the spring-loaded sleeve moves freely.
What material is the bit made of?
The PH2 bit itself is made of S2 Steel, the bracket is Stainless Steel, and the positioning ring is Aluminium Alloy.
What is the main advantage of using these bits?
The primary advantage is the spring-loaded design that securely holds screws in place, enabling one-handed operation and significantly reducing dropped screws, thereby increasing efficiency.
How long is the product?
Each bit measures approximately 10 cm in length.
Troubleshooting
Screw slips out of the holder.
Ensure the screw head is fully seated within the guide sleeve and that the spring mechanism is not obstructed by debris. Verify you are using a PH2 screw size that matches the bit.
Bit does not fit securely in the drill/screwdriver.
Confirm that your drill or screwdriver chuck is tightened properly around the bit shank. Check for any damage to the bit shank or the chuck.
Reduced holding power over time.
Clean the guide sleeve and spring mechanism. If the spring mechanism appears worn or damaged, consider replacing the bit.
Bit is not suitable for magnetic screws.
This is by design. These bits are intended for non-magnetic screws. For magnetic screws, a standard magnetic bit holder is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply insert the PH2 bit into your electric screwdriver or drill chuck as you would any standard bit. Ensure it is securely fastened.
Compatibility: These bits are designed for use with standard electric screwdrivers and drills. They are specifically suited for PH2 (cross-head) non-magnetic screws, including those made of stainless steel, brass, and aluminium.
Care: To maintain performance, keep the bits clean. After use, wipe away any dust or debris. Periodically check the spring-loaded sleeve for free movement. Avoid exposing the bits to excessive moisture or corrosive environments to prevent rust on the steel components.
