#6 torq-set bits

[jetmech09]

Do any of you have experience with them? At work we use #6 quite often, and most of the time you can get about 3 screws out before the bit twists, much like the torx bits. I was wondering if any of you knew of a high quality bit that isn't as soft. At my job they provide us with bits from Apex. Thanks!

apex is as good as it gets. have you tried using an impact or an impact screwdriver(hit with hammer kind)?

Zephyr/ Snap-on maybe?

I have always had good luck with Wiha bits in general, but have yet to run across a torq-set screw, so I can't speak to the durability of that particular product.

I think WORK needs to set a Torque range on your tool. What are the screws holding?

Cannot use impacts or impact drivers...it's an airplane. They do have torques. 8-10 in-lbs. Then they get painted over. Most of the engine access panels have these. I use the bits with a speed handle.
