Disston Company 504712 Double Ended Insert Bit

Product Description

The DISSTON COMPANY 504712 is a double-ended insert bit designed for use with standard bit tip holders in professional hand tool and power tool applications. One end features a Phillips 1 tip and the other end features a 6-8 slotted tip, giving the installer two driver configurations in a single 2-inch bit. Constructed from shock-resistant tool steel with a snub nose profile, this insert bit is built to handle repetitive fastening tasks without premature tip wear or breakage. It is suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals who rely on bit tip holder systems for fast, efficient bit changes on the job.

This insert bit is intended for use with standard 1/4-inch hex bit tip holders and quick-change driver systems commonly found in residential and light commercial trade work. The dual-tip format reduces the need to swap individual bits when alternating between Phillips and slotted fasteners, making it practical for panel work, fixture installation, and equipment assembly. Sold individually, it fits into standard bit storage systems and bit tip holder racks.

Installation Notes

Insert bits of this type are installed and removed by hand into compatible bit tip holders — no tools required for bit changes. Ensure the holder's hex socket is free of debris before seating the bit to maintain secure engagement. Inspect the bit tip for wear before each use; a worn or cam-out tip can damage fastener heads and reduce drive efficiency. This product is appropriate for use by licensed trade professionals and skilled installers working with standard fastening systems.
