Key Features

Real Diamond GripTru Diamond Grit puts a real diamond coating on the tip for up to 50X more grip, so the bit stays seated instead of camming out.Up to 100X Longer LifeThe diamond-coated tip resists wear far longer than a standard drive bit, which means fewer bit swaps in the middle of a job.Built for Impact DriversAn Increased Torsion Zone and Impact Strong construction absorb impact torque so the tip does not snap under load.

Overview

The Diablo 2 in. Demon Phillips #1 Drive Bit (model DSDPH12P2) is built for pros and serious DIYers. This is a premium screwdriving bit designed for high-torque fastening in wood, metal and general construction with impact drivers and drills.

Demon is Diablo's top drive bit line, and the difference is the tip. The real diamond coating increases friction in the screw recess for up to 50X more grip than a standard bit. On the job that means the bit stays engaged when you lean on an impact driver instead of riding up and chewing the screw head.

That same coating protects the tip from wear for up to 100X longer life in demanding screwdriving. A precision Grip Point Tip seats tightly in the fastener, while the Increased Torsion Zone in the shaft flexes to soak up impact torque so stress does not concentrate at the tip, which is where most bits crack.

Optimized heat treatment strengthens the core, a rust protection coating keeps it working in damp jobsite conditions, and laser-engraved size markings plus color-coded rings make the right bit easy to grab.

The 2 in. length is the everyday workhorse size: long enough to clear a bit holder or chuck, short enough to keep the driver close to the work. The 1/4 in. hex shank fits any quick-change chuck, magnetic bit holder or drill chuck.

Buy it if you are framing, decking, installing cabinets, running electrical or doing mechanical work where screws go in all day. If you are burning through standard bits every week, Demon is where the cost per screw comes down.

Grip That Does Not Let Go

Cam-out wastes screws, time and finish surfaces. The diamond-coated tip locks into the recess so torque goes into the fastener instead of stripping it.

Pro Tip

Keep steady pressure straight in line with the screw and the diamond grit does the rest, even on an impact driver at full speed. On a screw with a damaged head, the extra grip is often enough to back it out.
