Item No: HC-4010
Size: #7
 
 

Product Information

Headcote’s new Smart-Bit makes it easy to set screw heads with its’ special integral stop collar that is permanently mounted to the shaft of a four flute countersink. The countersink’s cobalt drill is permanently set for the correct pilot hole depth when used in 5/4" decking, and last longer than ordinary tool bits when drilling in tough decking materials. The Smart-Bit design incorporates an "O" ring on the stop collar nose which prevents spinning that could mar the deck surface. The pilot bit is a 1/8" and the countersink is 1/4". Generally, estimate one Smart-Bit for every 100-125 square feet of decking to be installed. (5/4" x 6" on 16" centers). The ball detent style bit fits standard quick change chucks. Bits are replaceable; 2 extra bits are included. Imported.

              If your are using more that a handful of trim head screws, this item will save you a lot of time.

                    I used this to pre drill for 1 5/8 trim head screws in Ipe. Bit stays sharp and countersink is clean and the perfect depth.

                    Comments about Headcote Smart-Bit for #7 Trim Head Screws:

                    The tool works very well, but the design of the actual 3mm drill bit makes it more fragile than a standard twist drill. I broke one on the 3rd hole I was drilling and was very careful after that, as the replacements are about $3 each. Still, it really did what I wanted and was worth every penny in the time it saved :-)

                    An excellent, easy to use tool for countersinking screws... especially now that it has replaceable drill tips.
