No.2 x 150mm Phillips Power Bit PH2

This No.2 x 150mm Phillips power bit is a PH2 screwdriver bit made from alloy tool steel with a 1/4 inch hex shank. The long 150mm length reaches recessed and deep set screws, which is useful when a short bit cannot get to the fastener. It is a standard series bit for general screw driving in timber, plaster and light metal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is a PH2 bit?

PH2 is the second size in the Phillips drive range and it is the most common size for general screw driving. It fits the standard cross head screws used in timber, plasterboard, hardware and fittings. A No.2 bit is the first one most tradespeople reach for.

Why choose a 150mm long bit?

The extra length lets you reach screws that sit deep in a housing, behind a frame or in a recessed profile, where a short bit cannot get a straight drive. It also helps keep your hands clear of the work. Use it where you need reach and a standard bit where you need maximum control.

Can I use this bit in an impact driver?

The bit has a 1/4 inch hex shank, so it fits impact drivers and quick change chucks. The listing rates this standard series bit as not impact rated, which means it is not specifically built for the high torque of an impact driver. For heavy impact work, use a bit marked impact rated.

What material is the bit made from?

The listing states the bit is made from alloy tool steel. That gives it a good balance of hardness and toughness for everyday screw driving. Keep the tip free of worn edges and replace the bit when it starts slipping out of the screw head.
