Alpha Slot magnetic insert driver bitor "slotted" drive system is one of the oldest fastening systems and it is the most simple. It is hard to find slotted fasteners and bits that match exactly between brands because of the wide-spread more-or-less unstandardised manufacture of slotted tools and fasteners. This is especially true of their width measurement on the driving face as most manufacturers do not list this measurement with bit length and other specifications. Insert bits have an extremely short shank cost the least out of all screwdriver bits and are designed to clip into a magentic bit holder. The snap ring notch on the body of the insert bit helps hold firmly in bit holders What is the difference between an insert bit and a power bit? Insert bits are commonly used with a magnetic bit holder in a drill driver power tool. This combination is economical provides flexibility and allows a fastener to be magnetically held by the bit but the range is limited to lengths of upto 50mm. Power bits are placed directly into the 1/4" quick-change hex shank or drill chuck no other parts are required and are available in lengths upto 300mm long What is the difference between drill driver and impact driver? A standard drill-driver is an excellent all-purpose tool. The head includes a chuck used to hold bits in place. Both standard screwdriver bits and drill bits can be used which enhances its versatility. The tool generally has a low speed used for driving screws and other fasteners and a higher speed for drilling. Standard power drills also include a clutch allowing you to adjust the level of torque. This is important to prevent fasteners from being over tightened and to prevent the drill from damaging the materials. By contrast an impact driver is more compact and lightweight than a standard drill-driver and usually has more torque or twisting force. Generally cordless impact drivers are either 12-volt 18-volt or 20-volt MAX models. As the voltage rating increases the impact driver is typically faster and more powerful Brand The Alpha brand is our PREMIUM driver bit range designed and test proven to work in Trade Industrial Manufacturing and DIY.
