Ranking of the best screwdriver bits in 2022

A modern person can independently make almost any thing, because the tool market is simply overflowing with a wide variety of devices and devices. However, despite the abundance and vastness of the assortment, in practice it is quite difficult to choose an intelligent tool that is well balanced in price and quality.

Such a problem is also present when choosing bits for a screwdriver - often they are of very dubious quality and cannot be called anything other than garbage (it is worth noting that buying a good screwdriver in the CIS countries is also a problem, but that's another story). The rating of the best bits for a screwdriver in 2022 among a variety of types will tell you about the best options and good manufacturers, as well as help you avoid making mistakes when choosing and save money.

First level

Of course, for serious construction or a person who uses a tool every day, it does not make sense to choose inexpensive models from the rating of high-quality bits - they will quickly become unusable and money will be wasted. But here it is important to understand that buying very expensive models for an ordinary person (whose life is not related to repair, construction or workshops) also looks illogical, because with rare and careful use, even the simplest bits will last quite a long period. It should also be understood that there are simply an unimaginable number of bit manufacturers now, however, in this review, only time-tested instances are considered.

DeWalt 1/4 PZ 2 x 25mm

Price: 28 rubles.

Starts the beat rating from the eminent American manufacturer DeWalt. The company has been successfully developing for a long time, creating the most modern high-tech power tools, not ignoring their components.

The first thing that catches your eye is the price, because it is almost three times less than other rating models (from its lower part).Otherwise, the bit has a standard set of characteristics that does not differ from most Chinese manufacturers - it is used for loosening / tightening bolts and screws of the PZ type, length 25 mm (explanation: this format is more practical and modern than the standard, but somewhat outdated PH; differences two types appear in notches, as PZ has more of them and they are located at angles, which allows you to work faster and more accurately; in practice, both formats can be tightened with a conventional screwdriver, but in this case the tool will wear out quickly).

According to customers, DeWalt 1/4″ PZ 2 x 25 mm is an ideal option for the home due to its common size and higher quality than its Chinese counterparts.

• Price (there are cheaper options, but they should not be considered if durability and reliability are among the selection criteria);
• Common type;
• Good quality.

• It requires accuracy (marriage caused by insufficient rigidity of the metal contributes to the licking of the edges, however, with careful use of the bit, it can last a long time).

Conclusion: the best alternative to Chinese manufacturers - the price and quality are in proportions close to ideal, and the size allows it to be used for a wide variety of purposes.

Berner 1/4 PZ3x 25 mm

Price: 38 rubles.

The next representative is the brainchild of the famous German company Berner. It is impossible to say that they are significantly better than the previous DeWalt, but they still last longer. This model can be used both with manual screwdrivers and with screwdrivers for working with PZ3 cross slots, size - 25 mm.True, the quality of the material leaves much to be desired, and therefore it is very important to use the appropriate type of bit for a specific bolt, otherwise even working with a screwdriver you can quickly “kill” the furrows of the product.

Reviews about Berner are quite contradictory, but from them we can conclude that this model is well suited for simple tasks or for short-term work (assembly of a cabinet and forget about the tool for six months). But with active use, and even chasing the speed of execution, you can very quickly turn a bat into a piece of useless metal.

• Price;
• Common type;
• Quality (slightly better than the previous copy).

• Afraid of long-term work under loads.

Conclusion: a good option as a spare or universal home bat is the quality of the metal, which does not allow it to work non-stop (at the same time, fixation accuracy is important), but it fully justifies its price.

Granite S2 PZ2x25 mm

Price: 15 rubles.

This nozzle took the third place due to the many positive reviews from the owners, highlighting a fairly high-quality S2 steel, which provides good strength of working surfaces. Suitable for both electric and hand tools when tightening / unscrewing cross-head screws PZ2, length - 25 mm.

• Very low cost;
• Common type;
• High strength steel.

• Marriage (the cost played a role, as a result, these bits are often licked on the working faces).

Conclusion: the main advantage of this model is the price, which allows regular rotation (at the same time, models without defects serve no less than previous models).

Stanley PZ 25 mm/ Stanley PH 25 mm

Price: 10 rubles.

The bits of this American brand are made in China, but despite this fact, the company's products are considered quite good in their price segment. As an example, you can take Stanley PZ 25 mm or Stanley PH 25 mm bits, which differ only in the type of slot, but are quite popular with buyers. They are intended for unscrewing / screwing self-tapping screws, and depending on the type of bit, they are suitable for both PZ and PH cross bits, size - 25 mm.

The feedback from the owners is mostly positive, there is an almost complete absence of backlash and slipping (they fit well and are fixed in hats), as well as a fairly good quality of the material - even after the first serious tests, they show no signs of wear.

• Affordable price;
• Common type;
• The quality of the material (the manufacturer promises resistance to normal loads and durability);
• Tight fit (no play).

• Durability (despite claims of longer life than previous models, the Stanley PZ 25mm/ Stanley PH 25mm bits are not truly wear resistant).

Conclusion: one of the best solutions in the budget segment - functionality and reliability are fully consistent with the price.

Stanley PH2 50mm / Stanley PZ2 50mm

Price: 79 rubles.

These nozzles are, in fact, improved versions of previous models - they use stronger steel, which allows them to be called reinforced. Users liked the company's decision to increase the length of the bit, but the majority were skeptical about the statements about the use of really high-quality steel.

The characteristics are as follows: it is designed to work with cross PH2 / PZ2 (depending on the type) self-tapping screws, the length was 50 mm. Product made in China.

• Strong steel;
• Common type;
• Tight fit.

• Quality (does not correspond to the strength and reliability of the reinforced bit).

Verdict: quite a popular bit due to its affordable price and good service life, many owners generally tend to classify it as a mid-range bit.

DeWalt	PZ 2	25 mm	28 rubles
Berner	PZ3	25 mm	38 rubles
Granite S2	PZ2	25 mm	15 rubles

USH 1/4″ PZ1 x 25 mm

Price: 45 rubles.

This German manufacturer is famous for its excellent quality of goods and has in its assortment products from a variety of price segments. This model can be presented in a variety of types (PZ1, PZ3, PH1, PH3 and others) and is rightfully considered better than any entry-level screwdriver bit (despite the lower price).

Sparky Professional S2 PZ 2 25 mm

Price: 50 rubles.

This Bulgarian manufacturer of power tools has long won its niche in the European markets, and in the CIS countries it is not very popular. Although those who use the bits of this brand, all as one, note their quality and durability. True, it is worth remembering that these are medium-level nozzles and they will be rather weak for professional work, but for everyday tasks there is no better solution (they can easily cope with surfaces such as wood, metal, drywall, plastic).

• Not a bad price;
• Strong steel;
• Common type;

Conclusion: these are very good bits that many Europeans liked, but do not forget that they are not intended for professional work, and therefore it is necessary to correctly calculate the load.

Bosch Extra Hart PH2/ PZ2 25 mm

Price: 55 rubles.

To date, Bosch produces a lot of bit models and, in general, they are all of fairly high quality, but the transfer of significant production facilities to China still had a negative impact on the number of defects (although prices have fallen).

Milwaukee knows a lot about construction tools, which is why their bits are truly unique technologies. For example, the Shockwave Impact Duty system will allow you to drill and tighten screws without problems, and the Shock Zone technology will increase the service life thanks to a specially developed design and shock absorption system (the nozzle becomes more elastic as a result of heat treatment). The brand is also demanding on materials, because they use only structural steel, and their forged tips fit perfectly into the screw head.
