FAQs
What types of security screws does this set cover?
The set covers Security TRX-Star (T8H to T40H), Imperial Security Hex (5/64" to 5/32"), Metric Security Hex (2mm to 6mm), Spanner (4mm to 10mm), Torq (6mm to 10mm), and Tri-Wing (#1 to #4) security screw types.
Does this set include a screwdriver handle?
No, this set includes the bits and a magnetic adaptor. A separate screwdriver handle or power drill is required to use the bits.
What material are the bits made from?
The bits are made from durable Chrome Vanadium steel.
How do I store the set?
The set comes with a dedicated rubber case that provides organized storage for all the bits and the magnetic adaptor.
Is there a warranty on this product?
Yes, the set comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Can I use these bits with a standard drill?
Yes, as long as your drill has a chuck that accepts a 1/4-inch hex shank, you can use these bits. Use appropriate speed and torque settings for the material you are working with.
Are the imperial and metric hex security bits interchangeable?
No, while both are security hex types, they have different measurements and are not interchangeable. Always use the correct imperial or metric bit for the corresponding fastener.
Troubleshooting
Bit does not fit securely in driver
Ensure you are using a driver with a standard 1/4-inch hex shank. Check if the bit's base is fully seated in the driver's chuck or magnetic holder.
Screw head is stripped or damaged
Cease force immediately. Ensure you are using the correct bit size and type for the screw. Try a slightly larger bit if applicable or consider specialized screw extraction tools if the head is severely damaged.
Magnetic holder loses magnetism
Clean the magnetic end with a dry cloth. Strong magnetic fields or prolonged contact with ferrous materials can sometimes affect magnetism, but it typically recovers. If significantly degraded, contact customer support regarding the guarantee.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the set, select the appropriate bit from the case and insert it into a compatible screwdriver handle or power drill chuck. Ensure the bit is firmly seated in the holder. The magnetic tip on the included adaptor will help secure the bit.
Compatibility: This set is designed for use with any standard 1/4-inch hex shank screwdriver handle or power drill. The bits themselves are designed to fit specific security screw head types. Always ensure the bit size and type match the fastener head to avoid damage.
Care: After use, clean any dirt or debris from the bits and the magnetic holder. Store the bits in their designated slots within the rubber case to prevent loss and damage. Avoid exposing the set to excessive moisture or corrosive environments to maintain the integrity of the Chrome Vanadium steel.
