(3-80202) #2 Phillips with ACR Bit 2" 6pk

I was glad to find these on Amazon. The original ones I had were purchased at Lowes several years ago. I've never used any bits that were tougher than these. I've bought and used other brands (Harbor Freight, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita, B&D, etc.). They've all either broken or tips wore out after just a few uses. The brand didn't seem to matter.I've used the ACR tips with my impact driver for anything that requires a #2 Phillips tip. I've never broken one. They eventually wear out, but they last at least 10 times longer than the standard tips. The small serrations/ ribs on the tip really help the tip grip the screws and keep it from jumping out (eventually stripping the screw head). Otherwise, all of the impact that I subject these to have never resulted in surface chipping or breaking. I use the tips with my Makita 18 volt impact driver to drive drywall screws.The absolute best Phillips driver tips on the planet.

I used these bits when I did Standing seam metal roofing panels. This is absolutely my favorite bit. These will outlast pretty much any other bit and do not dent or get grinded off. The bit works perfect until it breaks which is actually a good thing because a bit that has worn down isn't useful at all. These bit also have these little ridges at the tip that keep the screws gripped tight and reduce stripping.They also sell these in the smaller size if you are interested in using them with a magnet.I bought a pack of these months ago and occasionally use one of them and its still looks exactly like it did when I first bought it.When I ran 5-10,000 screws a day or so when doing roofing these really showed how good they are, everyones bits were constantly breaking and they were replacing them 2 times a day. I used the ACR's and would replace them once a week at most. If you just occasionally need a bit for household use, this may be the last philips bit you will ever buy. I have used pretty much every other type of bit available at Lowes and Home Depot, any none of them are even close to the quality and precision in size. 1/100 of an inch makes a big difference when you run so many screws.Definitely recommend these bits to any one who needs one, and will continue to do so until their quality is reduced if ever.

I use these bits in place of regular #2 Phillips.The coating has never let them rust and I've never broken one. I have a dozen or so in all of my tool bags/boxes that have drills or drivers and they've never let me down. I used to go through regular uncoated #2 bits constantly and was sick of buying replacements.I've never found these in a store and they were recommended by a friend. Worth the the money!

These bits are well designed & because of the ACR ridges the bit will hold a #2 Phillips screw (even though they aren't magnetic the ridges hold the screw in place). Even if the screw is off-angle this bit will drive them without slipping.I have confidence in driving (with impact driver) hard to reach, off-angle, worn screw head, with my right hand. For some reason when using my left hand I have great trouble (I've busted 2 of these bits). Even being careful to be right-on using the impact driver in my left hand I've chipped this hardened bit.The best combination (my opinion) is using this bit in the 1" length and held in a Radnor bit holder. This holder is magnetic & holds the bit securely by a threaded collet. the threaded ring is barely larger than the shank, making it useful & easy to use in confined spaces. Because the bit is held securely it never gets left behind (no more fishing-out left behind or dropped bits).

I have an 18V DeWalt impact driver that DESTROYS phillips head bits, or rather it did... until I got these. I normally buy torque head screws, but i inherited a bunch of phillips head screws that I thought I would use to build some shelving in my garage. Needless to say I burned through 4 of the 8 phillips head bits that I had lying around... I'll admit, they were cheap bits, but i know what i'm doing so i thought i could keep them from stripping... Nope. Those impact drivers just have too much torque for most phillip bits. So,I looked on amazon and saw these and decided to go for it. I absolutely love them. I bought two packs of 3 thinking I would burn through a few of them with all of the projects that I needed to do. Well... I am done with all of my projects and I haven't even burned through the first one I put in. There is only minor wear and tear, it is simply amazing. I will be purchasing more bits from them in the future.Update:After being thoroughly impressed with these bits, I wrote the review above. However, I am down to 1 bit out of the 6 that I originally purchased. All of the bits met the same fate, the phillips head sheared at a 45 degree angle. Once again, I have been using them with a very strong 18V DeWalt impact driver (for those of you that don't know, it "hammers" as it drills), but i still didn't expect this. They only thing that changed between the first part of my review and my review now is the weather got colder. My first review was written after a project i completed in 75 degree (Fahrenheit) weather, and I used 1 bit very heavily for the entire project, no problems. When the weather dropped to 15 degrees i lost 4 bits in 1.5 hours on a similar project. Recently I broke my 5th of 6 bits so i decided to update this review. I also posted a picture of the bit so you can see how they have been breaking. I don't really know what to think... Either my first bit was built extra strong, or the cold weather really affected these bits...

I'm tough on tools and do a lot of projects. It took me 8 years to lose these bits, not one broke and I can't believe they lasted so long. I don't write a ton of reviews but I highly recommend these.
