Overview

The 18-piece Rockler/Insty-Drive self-centering and countersink set lets you convert from drilling and countersinking to installing perfectly centered hinge screws in a matter of seconds - without re-chucking any bits! The 18-Piece set includes #6, #8 and #10 HSS 2-flute tapered hex shank bits with 4-flute countersinks; #6, #8 and #10 hex shank HSS self-centering bits; Rockler's Insty-Driver; 10 of the most popular drive bits; and a nylon pouch with belt loop.


Features:
  • Switch from drilling to driving instantly
  • Just drill the pilot hole, slip on the Insty-Driver and drive home the screws
  • Components are engineered to meet the highest standards for use in industrial applications
  • All Rockler/Insty-Drive bits are precision-ground high speed steel that resist wear and overheating, thus keeping a sharp edge longer
  • Bits can be resharpened easily on a bench grinder
  • Inluded self-centering bits ensure accurate hinge and hardware installation every time
  • Countersink has a 4 flute design for smooth, clean holes that do not require sanding
  • Taper drill bit is adjustable to match length of screw and is held with 1 or 2 hex set screws

How does the Rockler/Insty-Drive System Work?
  • Step 1: Drill the pilot hole with the countersink bits or the self-centering bits, which both have a hex shank to prevent slipping.
  • Step 2: Slip on the Rockler Insty-Driver which fits over Rockler countersink and self-centering bits. Magnetic tip holds all 1/4'' style insert bits and screws.
  • Step 3: Drive home the screws. Then slip off the Insty-Driver and do it again. You'll get fast and accurate hardware installation every time!

I have used 3 of this product at my job, at my son's house, and at home over a span of several years. I lost part of the set I use at home and the pouch has worn out. I use it very often because it is handy and a good quality.

Harminder K on Nov 27, 2016
I am starting to make more projects needing screws. Drilling with one drill bit and countersinking with another is time consuming and more difficult to get the best results consistently. This set will help solve this and other problems down the road.
John E on Nov 27, 2016
A number of years ago, as a professional carpenter, I was gifted from a colleague a similarly designed set. It has served me well for more than 25 years. I have never seen another until now. I am purchasing these sets as gifts to like-minded friends who appreciate well designed and helpful tools that make our work easier and better. Cheers

Great time saver! Getting the holes centered for hinges has always been a challenge, so I'm looking forward to saving some time on getting cabinet doors and other hinges set up the first time.

Ray W on Mar 8, 2017
An earlier question asked if the counter sink bits were depth adjustable and the answer was yes (using allen wrench) but there is no stop collar shown in the product picture. This 18pc kit seems similar to product #69030 which does have a stop collar so how does the dept adjustment works for this kit?
Gary E on Sep 28, 2016
I just got this, and it looks good quality, but I just don't understand how to use the carrying case. I feel really dumb about this, but does anyone have a picture of what it looks like in the case?
Roy K on Jun 24, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Sorry Roy, I tried to post a picture but the site won't let me. Go to the item and watch the "See It in Action" video. There is a section in the video that shows the items in the carrying case. I hope this helps.
Is the countersink depth adjustable?
A shopper on May 29, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Yes. The countersink is adjustable with the use of a allen wrench.
Can these countersink bits be used in aluminum?
David G on Mar 19, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Hi David, I think these bits are mainly for wood, especially the center drill bits used for drilling centered holes for screws in hinges. I would not use these drill bits for aluminum. I would get a set of Cobalt drill bits, high performance for drilling into metals. I bought a set of Cobalt drill bits and they last a long while.

Will the counter sinks work with any drill bit or only rockler specific?
Eman2 on Dec 18, 2015
BEST ANSWER: They work only with the Rockler Drill Bits, as they are not standard. The Rockler Drill Bits have a taper to them where standard drill bits do not. However, I have been using these for quite some time and they work awesome. I would highly recommend.
where is it made ?
donald s on Dec 19, 2015
BEST ANSWER: This is made in the USA of Foreign and Domestic Materials.
Need replacement bits for HSS Hex Shank Self-Centering Bits: #6, #8 and #10. What are the product number so i can order?
pbook on Apr 28, 2017

are the drill bits replaceable if one breaks do you have to buy the countersink and the drill bit?
jose d on Aug 7, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The drill bits are available at Rockler. No you don't have to buy it all together

It takes a lot for me...
It takes a lot for me to give anything 5 stars, but this set deserves it. It is my go-to tool, and used far more than anything else. It saves time, energy, and heartache. The drill is tapered, like the screw, sharp, strong, and with countersink--far better than the other 30 I have in the drawer. The Insty aluminum sheath fits over the drill instantly and drives the screw within seconds of finishing the hole. The self-centering bits never fail to center the hole where I want it. I can't imaging living without this set.Everything is right where you need it, and the results are dramatically improved. I love this so much I have given several as gifts. Pricey, but well worth it.

Do you know that feeling you...
One of the best purchases I've made, I wish I had bought it sooner and now I can't imagine working without it again. It is convenient, quick, well-made and a great idea. It does extend the screw tip further than usual, but you get used to it (unless your drill is low quality and has a lot of runout). I have previously used two drills (one to drill and one to screw) but now it's like I have three drills. I use one drill with this two-in-one product to drill and screw, and I use the second drill for a different size drill bit or whatever else I need for the project. It's a great product, and I highly recommended it. I bought this 18-pc set because its a great value, but any of the smaller sets would be better than what you use now.
October 20, 2008
Have use a set for several...
Have use a set for several year to install cabinets and door hinges. Worked great, so bought a set for my Son-in-law.The self centering bits are the only way to go for installing hinges. No offset holes to pull the hinges out of alignment.

The drill bits are great...no problem...
The drill bits are great...no problem with them at all.The only thing wrong with this product is it's case. The case is open on the sides and the elastic bands do not keep the countersink bits in the case. If you walk with them and tilt the case the bits can fall out. I have lost 4 bits due to this.

I got this set 4 years ago
Sorry to say my experience has not been the same as most reviewers. The concept is good, but the quality was not. I got this set 4 years ago, and used them occasionally. From the start the self-centering bits were either stuck or too stiff. Now one has lost it's spring as well. I broke one of the tapered bits without forcing it. I did find the kit very useful. I will try a more expensive set from another manufacturer.

Cheap countersinks
During the first time using the counter sink bits the counter sink part of the bit started spinning. No matter how tight i adjust the set screw it still spins.

This screw bit drill & drive...
This screw bit drill & drive system is excellent. I've used it to set more than 1000 screws while building work shop cabinets. I also found the Quick-Change chuck to be more reliable and secure than the Craftsman type. The drive sleeve also works well as do the centering bits. I do recommend that Rockler carry a #12 centering bit to match the #12 countersink bit. Screws that large really need to be set on center prior to counter sinking.
September 18, 2008
I'm in the middle of building...
I'm in the middle of building a set of built-in bookshelves 24' long by 8' tall for a Pastor's Study. This drive set is an absolute joy to have especially given the quantity of screws that I'm using in assembling the bookcases. Add to it the ability to slip on the screwdriver. It works so well I went back and purchased the #5 and #12 pilot/shank/countersink bits. The next project at the church will involve using the self-centering bits.
September 4, 2011
Not sure what I'd do without them...
I've had this set for almost 3 years now and as the title says, I'm not sure what I'd do without them. Switching from a drill bit to what ever type of screw bit is a dream.. making things go a LOT faster... faster than setting down one drill gun and picking up another to finish the screwing process... I will say the counter sinks were not razor sharp when I got them, but a few strokes on the diamond paddle sharpeners and that takes care of the problem. For the price, especially when they are on sale, you can't expect razor sharp... much like most any plane or chisel you buy now a days... (unless you are buying a $600 plane that is)... Money well spent here, in my opinion anyway.

Bits Are Great. Pouch has to be engineered better
Love the bits and the quick change item. Vex type bits tend to grab a bit, meaning the inner drill bit grabs sometimes not fully engaging out into the material. I've worked with vex bits and these seem just as good.
Ok the Pouch. Right away I was having trouble with setting things in it which it seems it's almost made for another item. I tried to release one of the red tabs and the whole row ripped out of the pouch rendering it useless to the pouch now. I looked at it and it's held in by two 1/4" tabs. There's no way any of these metal bits wouldn't rip these two rows of tabs out if not on the first attempt like me, then very soon after.
I will say that a Rockler rep actually called me, left msg, left email and explained how it worked and even sent a picture. A very nice lady named Rene.
