VESSEL Impact Bit Set

What is IMPACT BALL?

IMPACT BALL bits are designed to absorb impact not only in the standard torsion zone (shown as yellow), but also at the joint of the sphere and shaft (shown as red). In other words, this dual absorbing function can minimize impact on the tips. The red part suppresses excessive impact and vibration during tightening. The yellow part also absorbs excessive impact during screw seating.

Why spherical?

Our evaluation tests have shown that the round-shaped joint has 40% to 80% more impact-suppressing effect than the standard flat shape. With this in mind, VESSEL has come up with a spherical design like a powerful ‘flexing bicep’ for the new torsion bit. It has succeeded in dramatically improving protection performance of the tip-end, compared to a standard torsion bit.

KnowHOW and KnowLEDGE

In 1961, VESSEL launched the world’s first double-ended bit. Later, in 1997, in response to the development competition among power tool manufacturers seeking higher torque, VESSEL developed a plate-shaped torsion bit, followed by a cylindrical cross-section bit in 1998 to further improve performance. In this way, VESSEL has established a dominant position in Japan as a pioneer in bit manufacturing.
