Bits
A bit is an attachment for a drill or a bit holder with which screws can be loosened. When
loosening screws it is important to use the correct bits. By using the correct
bit, the screw can be loosened faster. In addition, you ensure that the bits
and screws do not break. At Winparts you will find all kinds of loose bits in
different designs such as inbus, torx, many teeth and flat.
In addition
to individual bits, you can also contact us for complete
bit kits . With a
complete bit set you always have the right bits at hand and you can work
efficiently.
What bits are there?
Bits come in many different designs.
At Winparts you will find the
inbus , ph , flat head , pz , torx and the many teeth .
We will further explain the different types for you below.
The inbus bit can be recognized by
its hexagonal shape and is therefore used on screws with a hexagonal cavity.
The inbus shape is also called the hex. Hex keys are often supplied with these
screws. Still, bits in a bit holder or drill often work better.
The
Phillips head is one of the most commonly used screws. The crosshead can be
divided into the PH and the PZ. The PZ crosshead has extra notches and the PZ
crosshead does not have these notches. The PZ Phillips screws have a little
more grip due to the extra notches. It is important to distinguish the two
crosshead bits from each other. Using the wrong variant can quickly destroy the
bits and screw.
The flat
head screw is also known as the slotted head. This screw can be recognized by
the single straight line (the minus sign). This screw offers little grip and is
therefore rarely used. If you do come across a flat head screw, the flat bit
will come in handy! To find the right flat bits for the screw it is important
to pay attention to the thickness of the slot.
The torx
screw is a screw with a lot of grip. Torx bits have 6 points and can be
recognized by the shape of a star. If there is too much play on the screw with
the torx, the teeth will quickly break. So make sure that you fit the bits
properly on the screw before you get started.
The polygon
resembles the torx screw, but has even more teeth. For this reason, these bits
are also called the multi-torx bits. The polydent has 12 points and therefore
has even more grip than the torx.
Which bits do I need?
To find out which bits you need, it
is important to look closely at the screw that needs to be loosened. Always
take the time to see which bit has the correct dimensions. This prevents too
much play between the bit and the screw head. Too much slack would not only
destroy the screw, but also destroy the bit. That would of course be a shame.
Are you
going to use a drill? Then make sure you use it at the lowest possible speed.
This way, too much force is not transferred to the screw and you do not break
it. Most drills also require an adapter. With an adapter, the bits can be
placed on the drill.
