FAQs

What types of screws can this set be used on?

This set includes bits for Phillips, Slotted, Pozi, Torx, and Hex screw heads, covering a wide range of common and specialized fasteners found in electronics and mechanical equipment.

Can I use these bits with any power drill?

The set is designed for use with variable-speed cordless screwdrivers and drills. It's recommended to use lower speed and torque settings to avoid damaging delicate components or the fasteners themselves.

How do I ensure the bit stays in the handle?

The handle features a magnetic bit retainer. Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the magnetic slot. The magnet should hold the bit securely during normal operation.

Is this set suitable for very small electronics like smartphones?

Yes, the set includes very small bit sizes such as PH000 and 1.0mm Slotted, making it suitable for intricate work on small electronic devices.

How should I store the bit set?

The set comes with a compact plastic case. Store all bits and the handle within their designated slots in the case to keep them organized, protected, and prevent loss.

What is the material of the bits?

The bits are manufactured from carbon steel, which provides strength and durability for regular use.

Does the extension bar provide a magnetic hold?

The screwdriver handle has a magnetic bit retainer. While the extension bar itself may not be magnetic, it securely holds the bit inserted into it, which is then held by the handle's magnetic feature.

Troubleshooting

Bit does not stay securely in the handle.

Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the magnetic retainer. If the magnetic force seems weak, check for any debris on the bit tip or in the retainer and clean if necessary.

Difficulty reaching a specific screw.

Utilize the included extension bar for added length and reach. Ensure the extension bar is securely attached to the handle.

Stripped screw head during use.

This often results from using the wrong bit size or applying too much torque. Double-check bit selection and use a lower speed/torque setting on your power tool. For already stripped screws, consider specialized screw extractors.

Case is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions within the case hinges or latches. Ensure bits are properly seated within their slots to avoid interfering with closure.
