I've heard this tool snaps off 1/4 phillips hex tips. What are the best tips to use with it for phillips head screws.

Never used it to drive screws. We use an 1/4" inpact driver for phillips head screws. Most likely the force would be too much for the screws and would snap them off as well as needing an adaptor to get to a 1/4 inch drive.

It's up to you pay attention to what you are doing . The tool has a lot of power but you can control it easily . I do all down to 6-32 with my no problem . My hand are bad .

You want DEWALT-Bare-Tool-DC825B-18-Volt-Cordless for hex head 1/4" bits. The DEWALT 820B is a 1/2" square drive and it is too powerful for the 1/4" hex bits...yes, it will snap the off. I have both and the DW-820B is a higher torque tool and I actually use it on truck lug nuts to change tires. It has about 145 lbs of torque!

I never use it as a screw gun and have another DeWalt 18v gun for screws. It works great for 3/8 and 1/2 inch sockets though.

I really don't know as I use it for the 1/2 drive sockets, there is no way to ratchet down the torque as with a drill/driver.

It is a small Phillips point. I don't know what size it might be considered since I didn't even take it out of the plastic baggie. I used my own small Phillips point screwdriver. I didn't have any problem at all setting the small screws and tightening them down.

Phillips will work but will need to be a small point one. The screws are fairly small.

I believe my husband used a small Phillip screw driver. Nothing more. The item is well worth getting though.

The Surge does not have a hex head attachment point. The included phillips/slot driver are unique as far as I know. Unless Leatherman makes an extension.

mine seems ok. Sometimes you have to get a good strait angle on it and as with any phillips head screws you need to get a good body angle on it so you can put some weight into it. It's true with any screw gun if you are reaching up or over where you can't get any weight on it , it will have trouble. I also have a regular drill driver (Bosh or Dewalt 18 volt) I use for those screws where I can't get a good angle. Ron

Use with a screwdriver handle that takes hex head inserts, or with an electric drill.

You'll have to drive them out with the proper size punch. A nail of the right diameter with the pointed end filed flat will also do the job. They're called roll-pins. Its been awhile since I put that kit in but I don't remember having a lot of trouble with the pins.

I am an engineer. I don't think that Titanium Torx screwdrivers will solve your problem of stripping screws. In fact it could make the problem worse if you do not have a precision fit correct size screwdriver aligned properly with the screw head and maintain the proper pressure on it while in use. You may need to use a solvent to loosen "Loc-Tite" type of chemicals that are holding the screws in place first. But the screwdriver tip must be exactly matched to the screw head and it must be held precisely perpendicular to the plane the screw is fitted into and sufficient pressure must be maintained to keep the tip from slipping out during use.

It's a round head Phillips screw the same size as a 6-32 computer case screw, but with a slightly finer thread, perhaps a 6-40 4mm length screw. A hex head screw would work just fine. It turns into a pot metal piece so it may cross thread quite easily and a similarly sized (not too large) self tapping or sheet metal screw would do in a pinch.

short and Long #2 phillips screwdriver bits and ones I use most outside standard drills.I had a good assortment of drill bits already and they all work.I picked up a 1/4 inch socket drive to use with my 1/4 inch sockets and that works great.

Several different sets are available. Use search term: Aoyue 937+soldering tipsI chose to buy the few individual tips I use most. So far they've held up well under hard use.

You need to check with black and decker or look at the product in a hardware store but that being said, I seriously doubt it would work. The socket tube that holds the screw driver tips that are shown with the drill is a quick change magnet type hex socket chuck. It may not have the clearance let all of the double end screw driver tips pass thru the hex socket and the tips that do pass thru the hex socket might not have enough socket depth to provide enough hex engagement.

The ETA screwdriver tip that comes with it is the best tip for PCB and general soldering tasks. Pointed conical tips are problematic...they don't sit against the component leads and slide which can be troublesome. If you stay with the standard tip that comes with the station, you will be able to do almost any soldering task. I'm using the same tip...I use this soldering station professionally in my daily pro audio electronics operation.

The screw extractors are used when the depression in the phillips head is wallowed out. Not very effective if there are no ends left on the outside of the phillips depression in the screw head, but they might work for small screws. On the other side of the extractors are regular driving bits. You just pull the driver shank out ,reverse the orientation so that the driver you want is sticking out, and push them back into the driver shank. I can say they are tough and good quality steel. I pulled one shank out with a small flat driver and put it deep into a wallowed out phillips screw until I felt it bite. I used a pair of pliers to turn the shank and felt sure the small flat head would be twisted. I was amazed to find out that the flat head did not twist under the torque of the pliers. It just wallowed the area out more. I wound up taking a sharp pointed diamond burr bit (cone shaped tapered burr narrowing to a small point at the end).Placed it on my Dremel type tool at low speed and cut a notch on each side of the cone shaped phillips wallowed out area. Just enough to get a small regular flat blade driver to match the slot. I was abled to extract the screw with this technique. As it was a computer, I couldn't use a round Dremel cutting disk as it would have cut the case. Amazon has a set for about $13 or so ( SE Diamond Burr Set - 150 Grit). If you want an excellent small precision screw driver set for a computer I would suggest StarTech.com 7-Piece Precision Screwdriver Computer Tool Kit on Amazon. These are the best drivers I have ever bought because they are magnetic. They hold a tiny screw like glue when you mate them up to the proper sized driver. These screws are so tiny that you can barely pick them up, much less place them and start them in the tiny holes of a laptop. And woe, if you drop one and it rolls under the mother board or some other in-accessible nook and cranny. Hope this helps.

Any 1/4" hex bits will fit this screwdriver. They have hex drive bit (6 side). What kind do you like? Flat, Phillip, or star.?

That sounds like very delicate decorative soldering. I think this tool is mainly for electrical soldering. I would recommend a Weller. You will pay more, but they last and the tips are easy to change. They just screw on and off. This one is held in with screws. When I started to have trouble with the tip for my decorative soldering, I stripped the heads. I couldn't get the tip off. You will need a small tip and you can get various tips for the Weller.
