Wera 056404 #3 x 25mm Phillips BiTorsion Diamond Coated Bit

You never need a #3 until you need one and I knew that I needed that diamond coating Wera does on their bits. It works great!

This bit doesn't show any signs of wear after using on several doors with painted hinges and screws!

Excellent, as an aircraft mechanic I used to have to use EZ grip or something similar to increase grip for stuck screws. However with the diamond grit added I don't have to worry about it anymore. I used to use Snap on ACR bits but these are far superior at a better price. As a bonus the gold color and red sizing band make them easier to find in the event of a lost tool (FOD prevention). Overall I can't recommend highly enough.

I can't tell the difference between these Wera bits and the straight BiTorsion without the diamond coating. In fact the only way I knew these were BiTorsion Diamond Coated was the BDC stamped on the base. The diamond coating isn't nearly and pronounced as in the photos.

I own a very large number of Wera tools and this is the first time I've felt like maybe one of their products was a little over-hyped. Don't get me wrong, the bits still work great but after trying them side by side with uncoated Wera BiTorsion bits I can't tell any difference in performance.

I think this is the first time I've ever rated a Wera tool less than 5 stars. I'm giving them 4 because they work great but no better than my other, less expensive, Wera bits.

These bits are of high quality and will outlast your usual bits that you get from the store.

I LOOOOVE this bit!!!! Felt like a kid in a candy store when it arrived!!
