Disston Company 160386 Flex Bit Extension 11 Inches

Product Description

The DISSTON COMPANY 160386 is an 11-inch flexible bit extension designed to give drill and driver users access to fasteners and holes in confined, angled, or obstructed spaces. Built with heavy-duty spiral ring construction, the extension maintains torque transfer while flexing through tight work areas. The easy-grip collet locks standard hex-shank bits securely in place during operation. This tool suits HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanics who regularly work behind panels, inside wall cavities, or in equipment bays where a straight drill cannot reach.

The 160386 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where accessibility is the primary challenge. It performs well when driving screws, running self-tapping fasteners, or drilling pilot holes in locations that require the bit to approach at an angle or navigate around obstructions. Trade professionals installing ductwork, electrical boxes, or plumbing hangers in framed assemblies will find this extension a practical addition to a service kit.

Key Features

• 11-inch overall length for extended reach into confined spaces
• Heavy-duty spiral ring construction allows controlled flex during use
• Easy-grip collet secures hex-shank bits without slipping
• Compatible with all standard hex-shank bits
• Lightweight at 0.28 pounds for one-handed maneuvering

Compatibility

Designed to accept all standard hex-shank drill and driver bits, making it a universal extension for most cordless and corded drill-driver platforms.

Installation Notes

Insert the desired hex-shank bit fully into the collet before applying torque. Ensure the collet is locked before operation to prevent bit ejection during use. Avoid applying lateral force beyond the natural flex range of the extension, as excessive bending can reduce torque transfer and shorten service life. No special tools or codes are required for use; standard drill safety practices apply.
