Hi All

Any recommendations for decent driver bits No2 Pozi?

I've tried cheap & expensive. Last lot I bought were CK, box of 25 for
about a ?5. Don't last long & then cam out starts.

Some dearer ones seemed brittle - I had a few just shatter.

Makes & suppliers please?


Thinking laterally.....

Have you thought about using Torx screws and bits? These are much
less susceptible to cam out than Pozidriv.


Thinking laterally again.

I wonder why there are no drills that can be set to limit torque to
a constant factor times pressure on the bit.

This way there is not enough torque to cam out the bit.


There are - I had a play with one. Hitachi I think, but it might not
have been.

Bits - I use some from Screwplan in Todmorden. Don't know what make
they are, but he does mail order! I always get the 50mm long ones -
seem to last better and are less fiddly. I still break them with the
impact driver, but very rarely with the drill.
