61 products · Drill Bits, Cutters and Inserts

Special accessories for screwdriving power tools are the items that extend the use of electric and cordless drivers: bit holders, adapters, extensions and devices for working in tight spaces. In this collection you will find products from Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, SPIT, Unifix, Fervi and A.M.E.S.

What you will find in this collection

  • Magnetic bit holders, including with bit retention.
  • Adapters with 1/4", 3/8", C6 and SDS Plus fittings.
  • Flexible extensions and angle heads, including with LED light.
  • Angle drive attachments for working where the driver will not fit.
  • Belt clips and drill bit holder sets.

How to choose

Check the drive of the driver and that of the bits you use, because they must match. For tight spaces choose an angle head or a flexible extension, and for heavy use a bit holder with retention. Also check compatibility with the tool's brand, especially for belt clips.

Frequently asked questions: Special Accessories for Power Screwdriving Tools
Magnetic bit holder or chuck holder: which should I choose?

The magnetic bit holder keeps the bit or insert in place by means of a magnet, which is handy for driving screws in open spaces. The chuck-type holder grips the insert with a clamp and is needed when the screw must stay aligned, for example with long screws or deep work. Choose the input drive compatible with the driver, such as 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch.

What fittings do screwdriver adapters have?

Adapters connect the driver to inserts with different fittings, such as 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, C6 and SDS Plus. The 1/4 inch fitting is one of the most common for bits and inserts. Before buying, check the fitting of the driver and that of the insert, and choose an adapter that connects them without play.

When are a flexible extension or an angle head used?

The flexible extension reaches screws in hard-to-access places, such as behind a panel or inside a drawer, bending the insert without effort on the driver. The angle head, which may include an LED light, works where the driver cannot fit, for example in tight corners or close to walls. Use the extension for long distances and the head for confined spaces, making sure the insert stays centred on the screw.

What accessories are needed to drive plasterboard screws?

For plasterboard, quick-feed attachments for strip-collated screws are used, suited to dedicated drivers, along with bits with controlled depth. The driver's clutch sets the screwing depth, so the screw does not go through the board. Always test the depth on an offcut before working on the final panel.

How do you choose a set of bits and inserts?

A set of bits and inserts should be chosen according to the screws to be driven, with the correct recess type, such as PZ2, PH2 or TX. The recess must match the screw exactly to avoid damaging its head. Check that the set includes the connector or chuck holder needed for your driver.

How do you use a driver with special accessories safely?

Always hold the workpiece firmly, and grip the driver with both hands when using long extensions, so that the torque does not pull the tool out of your hands. Do not exceed the speed or torque stated for the accessory, and switch the tool off before changing inserts. Check inserts, retaining rings and extensions regularly for wear or bending.

How is a flexible shaft used with a driver?

The flexible shaft transmits the driver's rotation to hard-to-reach points, such as screws inside a corner or cavity. It must be mounted on the driver with the specified adapter and must not be bent beyond its radius, otherwise it breaks. Work at a moderate speed and keep the flexible section as straight as possible.
