BARBERTON, OHIO - March 2006 - Wright Tool has introduced its Witte Insert Bit Program, which offers two different insert bits from Witte Tools. These bits—Bitflex TiN and Standard—are used for industrial, MRO, construction and other screw-driving applications.

All Witte Tools insert bits are made of high-quality steel and go through special hardening and tempering treatments. Witte bits are available in the following bit types: Phillips, slotted, Torx, Torx tamper resistant, Allen/hex and Robertson/square. There also are adapters for multiple applications.

Bitflex TiN bits have a titanium nitride (TiN) coatings, which has a Vickers Hardness rating in the range of 2,800 HV. The TiN coating extends the life up to five times a normal insert bit reducing costs of replacing bits. Witte Bitflex TiN bits are specifically used for continual screwdriving in industrial and other heavy-duty applications.

Standard Witte bits are best suited for driving screws with sudden, increasing torque and high torque conditions. Standard Witte bits can be used in all general-purpose screw- and fastener-driving operations.
