Commonly Asked Question
How hard are your screwdriver bits?
Extra Hard: 59-63 HRc, Medium Hard & Iso-Temp: 52-56 HRc
Why is this important?
Medium Bits are recommended for driving standard (soft) screws and for impact use. Extra Hard Bits are for driving heat-treated or case hardened screws, such as sheet metal or self-tapping and self-drilling screws. Iso-Temp Screwdriver Bits are in the Medium Hard Range and also provide additional flex as needed in some applications such as Torq-Set or Tri-Wing Bits
