About Phillips Bits
The Phillips drive was patented in the 1930s as a self-centring cross-recess that lets the bit cam out (slip up and out of the recess) at the rated torque. That cam-out was an engineering feature on hand drivers, preventing over-tightening before torque-limiting clutches existed. On modern cordless and impact drivers it is the cross-recess most likely to slip under load, which is why Pozi and Torx have replaced Phillips on premium timber and structural fasteners. Phillips still dominates by volume across timber screws, self-tappers, machine screws and electrical hardware sold in Australia.
Frequently Asked Questions
PH2 is the most-used size across timber screws, self-tappers and machine screws. Phillips was designed to cam out at the rated torque - useful on hand drivers but the LEAST cam-out-resistant cross-recess on impact drivers.
Look at the number printed on the screw head (PH2, PZ2 etc) - that IS the bit size. If no number is visible, trial-fit at the lowest size that engages the full recess without forcing. The bit should slide in by hand and seat at the bottom of the recess with no rotational play.
Replace worn bits, match sizes exactly, lean into the drive. If you're seeing cam-out on impact-driver work with Phillips, switch to Torx, Pozi or Square drives where the screw allows - those tolerate impact torque much better.
Impact-rated bits have a softer torsion zone in the shank that absorbs each hammer blow as a small twist. Bright-finish bits don't have that and will fail at the chuck end. Check the listing for 'impact rated' or 'torsion zone' before pairing with an impact driver.
Match the bit number to the recess number printed on the screw head. Where the bit and screw drive both have the same designation (PH2 bit, PH2 recess), the fit is correct.
How to Measure
Sizing Phillips bits are sized PH0, PH1, PH2, PH3, PH4 by tip dimension - the number stamped on the screw head IS the bit size. PH2 is the most common across timber screws, self-tappers and machine screws. Length options: 25mm insert, 50mm to 90mm power (with torsion zone for impact driver use), 116mm for Hilti autofeed.
How to measure a driver bit Pick the bit by the cross-recess tip size number (PH0-PH4 or PZ1-PZ3). The shank is the bit's clamping end - 1/4" hex is the universal standard across cordless drivers, impact drivers and bit holders. The overall length determines reach: 25mm insert for general use, 50mm to 90mm power bits with a torsion zone for impact drivers, 116mm for Hilti autofeed, long-shank Allen keys for recessed socket cap screws. Cross-check the tip dimension against the screw head before driving - an undersized bit cams out and strips the recess.
Measurements Accurate to the relevant standard and should be used as a guide only. They are either hand-measured or taken from suppliers' catalogues. We only stock Alpha for this product; substituting another brand is rare and would always be confirmed with you first.
Magnetism
This product is magnetised. The tip / cup retains a fastener through alignment and engagement, which speeds work in overhead, awkward or one-handed install scenarios. Across the wider Driving range, magnetised bits, holders and nutsetters speed install by holding the fastener on the tip through alignment; non-magnetised tools are preferred for electronics, magnetic-sensor proximity and any work where stray magnetism on the fastener would cause downstream issues. Check the specification table above for the per-SKU value before ordering for magnetism-sensitive applications.
