Flexible Bit Adapters
Bend these adapters up to 90° to access hard-to-reach fasteners. Use hex-shank bits (also known as insert bits) in drills and powered screwdrivers.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Flexible-Shaft Bit Screwdrivers
Bend the shaft around obstructions to reach fasteners that standard screwdrivers can’t. These tools have a soft, contoured handle that provides comfort and the best possible grip for achieving maximum torque. Bits are not included.
Drivers with 7” long shaft have a quick-change chuck to hold the bit. Pull back on the chuck to insert and remove bits.

Flexible-Shaft Drill Bits for Wire Installation
The shaft is made of spring steel instead of hardened steel, so it flexes while drilling, allowing you to drill inside walls or between floors. A hole in the flute near the tip lets you pull wire through after holes are drilled. The end of the wire must be stripped prior to attaching it to the bit. Also known as bell hanger bits.
Use a hand guide (sold separately) to position flexible-shaft drill bits.
Use a ball guide (sold separately) to keep flexible-shaft drill bits centered between studs and drywall.
