Screwdriver Bit STANLEY 1/4" Hex Drive Phillips Insert Bit (MPN 1-68-947)

STANLEY 1/4" Hex Drive Phillips insert bit is a single-tip replacement bit designed for use with 1/4" hex chucks, bit holders and quick-change adapters. The bit provides a standard Phillips cross-tip profile for driving Phillips-head screws in a wide range of materials. It is compatible with manual screwdrivers, power drivers and impact drivers that accept 1/4" hex bits, making it suitable for general assembly, maintenance and small construction tasks.

Advantages

The bit is forged and ground to resist wear and retain tip geometry during repeated use. Precision machining ensures accurate tip dimensions for reliable engagement with screw heads and reduced cam-out. Its 1/4" hex shank allows secure seating in bit holders and chucks designed for this common drive size, enabling fast bit changes and stable torque transfer.

Suitable for

• Driving Phillips-head screws in wood, metal and plastic
• Furniture assembly and fittings
• Electrical and appliance maintenance
• General DIY and repair tasks
• Use with power screwdrivers, impact drivers and manual bit-holders

Key specifications

• Drive type: 1/4" hex shank for quick-change holders and chucks
• Tip profile: Phillips cross-tip for standard Phillips screws
• Material and treatment: forged and ground bit for improved durability
• Compatibility: suitable for hand drivers, power screwdrivers and impact drivers that accept 1/4" hex bits
• Typical applications: assembly, repair, furniture fitting and general fastening tasks

How to use

Select the correct Phillips bit size for the screw head to ensure proper engagement. Insert the 1/4" hex shank into a compatible chuck, quick-change holder or manual bit driver until it seats securely. Apply steady pressure and the appropriate speed or torque setting on a power driver; for impact driving use an impact-rated bit holder if available. Withdraw the bit after use and inspect the tip for wear, replacing the bit if the tip is rounded or damaged to avoid screw-head damage.

Usage recommendations

Use this bit with the correct Phillips screw size and matched torque settings to minimize cam-out and wear. For repeated high-torque or impact use choose an impact-rated holder and check the bit regularly for tip deformation. Store bits in a protective holder to prevent tip damage and to keep sets organised.
