Bits are special tips used for driving screws and screws using screwdrivers, hand screwdrivers and drills. Bits can definitely speed up and make your work easier, but how do you choose the correct bits? And will all variants fit every screwdriver?

Do all bits fit every screwdriver?
Bits generally fit any device. They can be mounted directly in it, or via a special holder, which will make performing some tasks much easier.
You should be aware that the bits are available in various variants, so you can match the appropriate variant to each type of material. Most often, a distinction is made between bits for screwing into soft and hard materials or universal solutions. The latter have unique properties that make them so widely used. Universal bits are characterized by exceptional hardness, greater flexibility and optimal twisting geometry.
Bits are small-sized elements with a simple structure, but high functionality and usability. On one side there is a tip, and on the other there is a part called the drive, which is placed directly in the device. When deciding to use bits, you can use various variants - classic PH, slightly modified PZ, as well as Torx bits, flat bits, hexagonal bits (also known as Allen keys), and square bits.
Difference between PH2 and PZ2 bit

PH2 and PZ2 are the basic bit variants available on the market. How do they differ? The Philips cross bit set is used to screw in and remove screws with two flat slots. This is the so-called cross bit, due to the fact that the cuts are perpendicular to each other, i.e. at right angles. These types of bits are available in several dimensions - sizes: PH00, Ph0, PH1 (2.5-3 mm), PH2 (3.5-5 mm), PH3 - 6 mm, PH4 - 8 mm.
PZ2 bits are also cross bits, but of the Pozidriv type. They differ slightly in shape from the first variant. In the PZ variant, the arrowhead looks quite characteristic, like two crosses that are offset from each other by an angle of 45°. The narrower of the crosses has a smaller recess and its role is to provide adequate stabilization for the screwing device. The big advantage of PZ bits is greater stabilization, and the specific design allows for maximizing torque.
How to choose the right bit for a screw?
When choosing the right screw bit, you should first of all pay attention to the shape. Classic cross-heads, Torx sockets, Allen keys - choosing the right one is necessary to screw in or loosen bolts and screws.
The second key issue is to check the variant of the bit model you have - whether it is matched to the variant of the material in which we plan to work. Other models are dedicated to wood and others to concrete. Use without checking the intended use may result in damage to the tips.
