About Drywall Bits
Drywall bits are Phillips PH2 driver bits fitted with a depth-stop sleeve that disengages the bit from the screw once the head sits flush with the plasterboard surface. Prevents over-driving the screw through the plasterboard paper, which would otherwise break the bond between the paper and the gypsum core.
Frequently Asked Questions
Over-driving a drywall screw breaks the bond between the paper face and the gypsum core, ruining the screw's holding strength. The depth-stop sleeve is the standard fix - set it once and every screw drives to the same controlled depth.
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 Drywall bits use a PH2 Phillips tip with an adjustable depth-stop sleeve. Rotate the sleeve to dial in the screw depth so the head sits 0.5mm below the plasterboard paper. The sleeve disengages the bit once the depth is reached, preventing over-driving.
How to measure a driver bit Pick the bit by the PH2 tip + depth-stop sleeve format. 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.
