Pozidriv bit PZ1 x 25 mm

On this page you will find the article code and the price, and you can see whether the article is in stock. The explanation below helps you determine whether this bit suits the screwing work you need to do.

What does Pozidriv PZ 1 mean?

Pozidriv is a cross-head profile with extra small ridges between the arms of the cross. The numbers PZ 0 to PZ 4 indicate the size of the profile: the higher the number, the larger the bit and the screw head. PZ 1 is used for smaller screws. Always check which size is marked on the screw head or on the screw packaging.

The difference between Pozidriv and Phillips

Pozidriv and Phillips look alike, but they are not the same. A Phillips bit in a Pozidriv screw fits less securely and slips out of the profile more easily, which can damage the screw head. Therefore, use a bit with the correct profile. You can recognise a Pozidriv bit by the small ribs in the tip and by the marks between the arms of the cross in the screw head.

A bit of 25 mm: when is that useful?

A length of 25 mm is the standard length for loose bits. You click the bit directly into the bit holder of your machine or into a screwdriver handle with bit holder. For screws in hard-to-reach places, such as deep in a hole or behind an edge, a longer bit or an extension may be needed. For regular screwdriving on an open surface, 25 mm is usually fine.

How to use the bit properly

Press the bit straight into the screw head and keep the machine in line with the screw, so that the bit does not tilt. A stable posture and a suitable torque setting prevent the profile from wearing out. If the tip of the bit is visibly worn or has become rounded, replace it. A worn bit holds the screw poorly and increases the risk of damaged screw heads.

Frequently asked questions

Does a PZ 1 bit also fit a Phillips screw?

Sometimes it seems to fit, but the fit is not right. For the best result, use a Pozidriv bit with Pozidriv screws and a Phillips bit with Phillips screws.

Which screw sizes do you use PZ 1 for?

PZ 1 is intended for smaller screws. Which screw size exactly goes with PZ 1 depends on the type of screw. Check the screw packaging, or ask Proffix.

Can I use this bit in a regular drill?

Yes, provided the machine has a bit holder or keyless chuck that accepts a bit with a hex shank. Check the bit holder of your machine before you order.
