Carlyle 1/4in Hex Insert Bit Holder (CIBH24)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CIBH24

Carlyle's CIBH24 is a magnetic bit holder with a 1/4in hex shank, made from impact-grade material. It goes in the quick-change chuck of an impact driver or drill and holds 1/4in hex insert bits, with a torsion zone in the shank that soaks up the peaks of the impact driver's blows to help bits and holder last longer.

Good to know

• Will it fit my driver? It suits tools with a 1/4in hex quick-change chuck, which most cordless impact drivers have; on a drill with a three-jaw chuck, tighten the jaws on the hex flats.
• What does the magnet do? It holds the bit in the holder so it doesn't drop out when you pull away from the screw. It is not a locking sleeve, so keep the bit pushed fully home.
• Why does a torsion zone matter? An impact driver hits in sharp bursts; the torsion zone gives slightly to absorb those spikes, which helps stop bit tips snapping or wearing out as fast.

Which one?

To drive 1/4in hex bits from a socket set instead, the Carlyle 3 Piece 1/4 3/8 &1/2 Drive Impact Quick Release Locking Hex Bit Adapter Set (CPAS3) fits 1/4in, 3/8in and 1/2in drives; for hand use, the Carlyle Driver Bit – Ratcheting – 19 in 1 (RDBS19) is a ratcheting driver with bits.
