Draper VDE Torque screwdriver bit

DavidS · Dec 11, 2016

Hello fellow electricians I was wondering if any of you have seen a VDE bit that allows different screwdriver heads to be placed in the end (If that makes any sense to you) I dont really want to keep buying different type heads when I can just swap them out from my little socket set many thanks.

Sorry I may not have explained this quite right I have the draper VDE Torque screwdriver I am looking for an attachment that fits in the VDE and allows me to use my own bits ( http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Han...sd80/Draper+VDE+Torque+Screwdriver+Set/p11954 )

There's a Wera Kompakt Kraftform that's VDE and comes with interchangeable tips. About 100 quid for the set on ebay

The bit holder on most torque screwdrivers is not a standard 1/4" hexagon, presumably to avoid what you are proposing and get you to buy their bits. Armeg bits are 1/4" if you wanted to buy their torque driver.
Unfortunately I do not know the dimensions of the Draper bit holder so I cannot specify if there is such a device available.
Effectively if you fitted a hex drive Allen key bit of the same size as the draper head and a female/female hex adaptor then you could put a standard screwdriver bit in it.
I suppose you are really looking for a 1/4" hex extender bar that fits the draper head.

The manufacturers appear to have made putting standard bits onto their torque drivers a challenge. This will likely be to maintain the VDE rating for the torque handle. And max the profit margin. Did I mention profit?
