Wera 05160895001 Phillips Insert Bit 2 Point 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The WERA 05160895001 is a Phillips screwdriver insert bit designed for use with power tools and impact drivers equipped with a 1/4 inch hex drive. Built to a 2-3/4 inch overall length, this is a Number 2 point size bit suited for high-cycle fastening work in the field or shop. WERA constructs this bit for ductility and toughness, meaning it flexes slightly under torsional load rather than snapping - a critical trait for power-driven applications. Licensed tradespeople and skilled installers who drive large volumes of Phillips fasteners will find this bit holds tip geometry longer than standard-grade alternatives.

This insert bit fits any 1/4 inch hex quick-change chuck, making it compatible with cordless drills, impact drivers, and screwgun attachments commonly used in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical installation work. The 2-3/4 inch length provides additional reach compared to a standard 1 inch insert bit, useful when fastening in recessed panels, junction boxes, or equipment enclosures where a shorter bit cannot engage the fastener properly.

Key Features

• Number 2 Phillips point size for standard fastener heads used across most trade applications
• 1/4 inch hex drive shank fits all quick-change power tool chucks
• 2-3/4 inch overall length provides added reach in tight or recessed installations
• Ductile and tough construction resists snap-off under torsional load from impact drivers
• Power bit designation confirms suitability for driven rather than hand-only use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style power insert bit for use with any 1/4 inch hex drive quick-change chuck system on cordless drills, impact drivers, or screwgun attachments.

Installation Notes

Insert bits should be seated fully into the quick-change chuck before driving to prevent cam-out or bit ejection under load. For impact driver use, confirm the bit is rated for impact - this bit is designated as a power bit appropriate for driven applications. Inspect the tip for wear regularly; a worn Phillips tip causes cam-out and can damage fastener heads. No special tools or trade licensing are required to use insert bits, though proper torque control settings on the driver are recommended to avoid overdriving fasteners.
