Common screwdriver bit types and applications

1. Slotted Bit

Features: simple structure, only one straight slot.

                  easy to operate manually

Disadvantages: easy to slip, not suitable for high torque operation

Applications: woodworking, electrical appliance repair, basic mechanical assembly

2. Phillips Bit

Features: Cross-shaped notch, providing better stability than slotted bits.

Provides better bite force than slotted bits, suitable for fast tightening

Applicable to most industrial and household screws.

Disadvantages: May slip out of the screw slot under high torque, affecting the tightening effect

Applications: Home appliances, automobiles, electronic product assembly

3. Torx Bit

Features: The notch is in the shape of a hexagonal star, with a large contact area and high stability.

High torque transmission capacity, reduced wear, and better anti-slip effect

Disadvantages: Requires a special screwdriver and has low versatility

Applications: Automobiles, hard drives, industrial equipment, aerospace

4. Hexagonal Bit

Features: high stability, high torque output, reduced slippage

Disadvantages: need to match the corresponding screw size, otherwise it will affect the operation accuracy

Application: bicycles, furniture assembly, mechanical equipment

5. Square Cutter Bit

Features: Provides stronger torque transmission capability and reduces slippage

Disadvantages: Narrower industry applications, less market versatility than cross cutter heads

Applications: Carpentry, construction, truck maintenance

Whether it is a hand tool or an electric tool, it is very important to choose the right cutter head. Reasonable selection of cutter heads can improve operating efficiency, reduce losses and improve work accuracy.
