The hex shank provides reliable grip in standard drills and impact drivers, allowing fast bit changes and improved torque transfer.

How to use

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Secure the workpiece before drilling. For cleaner edges on thin panels, consider backing the panel with scrap wood. Do not use the bit on metal or masonry.
