This B&Q Magnetic Screwdriver Bit Set (PH2) is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking efficient and secure screw driving. Its key benefit is the strong magnetic tip that prevents dropped screws, enhancing productivity.

FAQs
What type of screws is this set designed for?
This set is specifically designed for PH2 (Phillips head size 2) screws, which are very common in household applications and DIY projects.
Are these bits suitable for impact drivers?
Yes, the bits are made from durable alloy steel with a shock-resistant design, making them suitable for use with impact drivers.
What are the different lengths of bits included?
The 6-piece set typically includes bits of varying lengths, commonly 25mm, 50mm, 65mm, 70mm, 90mm, and 150mm, though specific lengths may vary by package.
How do I maintain the magnetic feature?
Keep the magnetic tip clean by wiping it with a dry cloth after use. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or strong magnetic fields that could interfere with its properties.
Can I use these bits for screws other than PH2?
While the primary design is for PH2 screws, the hex shank will fit most drills. However, for optimal performance and to avoid damaging other screw types, it's recommended to use bits designed for specific screw head types (e.g., Pozidriv, Torx, Slotted).
What is the benefit of the non-slip design?
The non-slip design, along with the magnetic tip, helps to reduce cam-out, which is when the screwdriver bit slips out of the screw head. This provides better grip, control, and reduces the risk of damaging the screw or the bit.
How do I clean the screwdriver bits?
Wipe the bits with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove any metal shavings or dust. For tougher grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
Troubleshooting
Screw not holding magnetically
Ensure the bit tip is clean and free of debris. Verify you are using a PH2 screw, as the magnet is optimized for this size.
Bit slipping out of the screw head (cam-out)
Apply firm, steady pressure directly into the screw head. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the screw recess. Check if the screw head is damaged.
Bit not fitting into the drill chuck
Confirm that your drill chuck accepts 1/4-inch hex shank bits. Ensure the chuck is open wide enough to insert the bit fully.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces dropped screws, improving efficiency.
- Durable construction ensures a long service life.

- Enhances grip and control to prevent cam-out.

Cons
- Limited to PH2 screw types; requires other bits for different head types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply insert the hex shank of the screwdriver bit into the chuck of your electric drill, screwdriver, or impact driver. Ensure the chuck is tightened securely around the shank for safe operation.
Compatibility: This set features a standard 1/4-inch hex shank, making it compatible with the vast majority of corded and cordless drills, impact drivers, and screw guns on the market.
Care: To maintain the magnetic strength and durability of the bits:
- Clean After Use: Wipe down the bits with a dry cloth after each use to remove dust and debris.
- Avoid Moisture: Store the bits in a dry environment to prevent rust.
- Inspect Regularly: Check for any signs of wear or damage before use.
