screwdriver bit

Interchangeable tool head

A screwdriver bit is the interchangeable tip that fits into a power drill or multi-bit screwdriver handle, shaped to engage a particular screw head.

Common types include Phillips, flathead, Torx, and hex.

Bits allow one tool to drive many screw varieties: I need the right screwdriver bit for these star-head screws.
