Sometimes finding that one screw bit you need for a particular DIY, construction or craft project can feel like searching for the Holy Grail. And even if you find the right bit, if it’s not built tough or doesn’t fit well in your driver, it can lead to disaster, in the form of stripped screws or even a broken bit.
DEWALT is intent on curing any case of the screwdriver bit blues with its 40-piece FlexTorq screwdriver bit set, which provides an extensive set of bits and nuts that are built to last, and built to fit any powered drill or driver. And at a current discount of 50% off its list price, it makes for the perfect stocking stuffer for your handy family member or friend.
DEWALT 40-Piece Screwdriver Bit Set, $19.99 (50% off)
This bit set comes in a compact, well-organized case that can be clipped onto other DEWALT cases of similar sizes for convenient storage. Each major bit category (Philips, Torx, slotted, square) is organized into individual bracketed rows, and you can remove each row from the case if you need to carry it with you, and replace it with a snap and click. And just to ensure you won’t get confused, each bit is labeled with laser etching for easy reference. In addition to the bits themselves, you also get a magnetic bit tip holder, a magnetic locking sleeve that helps you keep a good grip on both the bit and the screw when using your driver, 1/4-inch and 5/16-inch nut drivers, and a 3/8-inch socket adapter. All in all, this assortment of bits and adapters gives you all you need to get cracking on almost any project, as long as you have a drill or driver on hand.
But let’s get to the nitty-gritty: the actual performance. These bits are what DEWALT calls “FlexTorq” bits, which means the bits can flex up to 15 degrees, which is great for reducing cam-out and ensuring screwheads are flush with surfaces as you drive them in, even if you’re coming in at an angle with your driver. If you own a DEWALT driver, these bits are constructed for a snug fit, but as long as you use the right bit holder, these bits and nuts work well with any type of driver.
Put it all together and you have a useful bit set that should be an essential part of any DIY enthusiast or professional’s toolkit, and what Amazon users are calling a “game-changer” for everything from installing furniture to replacing fixtures. Get them for yourself or as a stocking stuffer while you can, because this holiday sale of 50% off won’t last forever!
