17/32" Silver & Deming HSS Drill Bit

The Benchmark Abrasives 6" magnetic bit holder with retaining ring is built for secure, efficient screwdriving when added reach and dependable retention are needed. A magnetic core helps hold fasteners in position during starting and driving, while the retaining ring engages the grooves of compatible 1/4" insert bits for added holding strength and a more secure connection.

Constructed from industrial-grade, heat-treated S2 tool steel hardened to approximately HRC 60, this holder is designed for strength and shock resistance in demanding fastening applications. A corrosion-resistant finish helps protect the holder, while precision CNC grinding helps maintain accurate dimensions and consistent fit. The 1/4" ball-groove quick-change shank allows fast installation in compatible impact drivers, drills, and screwdrivers, while the 6" overall length provides extended reach into recessed and difficult-to-access areas.

Features

• Magnetic core helps hold screws and other compatible fasteners in position during driving
• Retaining ring engages compatible insert-bit grooves for added holding strength
• Heat-treated S2 tool steel construction for strength and shock resistance
• Approximately HRC 60 hardness
• Corrosion-resistant finish helps protect the holder
• CNC-ground for accurate dimensions and consistent bit engagement
• 1/4" female hex receiver accepts compatible insert bits
• 1/4" ball-groove quick-change shank allows fast installation and removal
• 6" overall length provides extended reach for recessed and difficult-to-access fasteners

Applications & Performance

Designed for fastening and screwdriving applications where secure bit retention and extended reach are useful, including:

• General construction and assembly
• Automotive and equipment work
• Cabinet and furniture installation
• Maintenance and repair
• Electrical and mechanical assembly
• Deeply recessed fasteners
• Fasteners located behind surrounding components or obstructions
• Repetitive screwdriving and fastening operations

The magnetic core helps keep the fastener positioned at the bit during alignment and starting, while the retaining ring provides additional mechanical retention of compatible grooved insert bits. The 6" length helps reach fasteners that shorter holders cannot easily access.

Machine Compatibility

The 1/4" quick-change hex shank is designed for compatible impact drivers, drills, and powered screwdrivers.

Compatible examples include:

• DEWALT® Models: DCF850, DCF845, DCF860
• Milwaukee® Models: 2953-20, 3453-20, 2453-20
• Makita® Models: XDT20Z, XDT11Z
• Bosch®: GDR18V-1860C
• RYOBI®: PBLID02
• RIDGID®: R862311B

For keyed or keyless drill chucks, securely clamp the 1/4" hex shank. Use a drill/driver in rotary or screwdriving mode, with hammer mode switched off.

Safety Tips

• Always wear appropriate eye and hearing protection during powered fastening operations.
• Fully seat and lock the 1/4" hex shank in the tool before use.
• Make sure the insert bit is fully seated and securely retained before operating the tool.
• Select an insert bit that correctly matches the fastener.
• Use impact-rated insert bits when operating with an impact driver.
• Maintain control of the tool when using the extended 6" holder, particularly under higher fastening loads.
• Do not exceed the operating limits of the tool, insert bit, fastener, or other components in the fastening system.
• Inspect the holder and insert bit for cracks, deformation, excessive wear, or damage before use.
• Keep hands clear of rotating bits and fasteners.
