You know what they say – “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” – but we just couldn’t hold back our excitement! Our first exhibitor experience at the National Hardware Show this year was definitely one for the books. We had the TXT crew together, met great connections, and had a good time.

Held at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV from January 31-February 2, 2023, the National Hardware Show was part of a whopping 3-in-1 showcase week with NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS) and NKBA’s Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS). It was a massive gathering of the Hardware, Building, & Home Improvement community from all over the world which was great to see after the pandemic. Not only was the entire event well-attended, but the exhibits were also innovative and entertaining. A real must-see every year!

TurnX Tools was part of NHS Habitat where we were able to showcase PHLiPBiT, our best-selling double ended impact bit which has tremendously grown in reach since conception. The various classic and new combinations and set selections brought excitement to the booth-goers, particularly the crowd-favorite TQRx (Star/GRK) SERIES and our BRAND NEW SLOT and HEX SERIES (for that well-known DIY furniture build we all love to buy!). Professionals and enthusiasts alike were delighted at the number of pairings that come in handy for all kinds of projects and jobs. Like what our buddies at Coffman Construction said, “we’re gonna buy one million please!”

Also, for the first time ever, we introduced the “World’s First Interchangeable Bit & Driver System” by bringing in the ULT – the Ultimate Multi-Bit Screwdriver designed to exclusively work with PHLiPBiT double ended impact bits. Yes, you read that right! You can now use your PHLiPBiTs both in your impact driver and the ULT. Get the same features you enjoy with your impact drill: Push-to-Lock, Quick-Change and ready to go in a snap. Talk about ultimate ease and speed! To top it off, the ULT also comes with a built-in ruler and screw gauge, making it an all-in-1 toolbox must-have.

At the United Inventors Association (UIA) Retail Ready and All Stars Pitch Panels where TurnX Tools was invited to present, our PHLiPBiT Guys (Rolf and Adam) showed the dynamic duo – PHLiPBiT and ULT – to well-known pro panels in the industry. Their verdict? Two-thumbs up! The ULT Multi-Bit Screwdriver is jam-packed with great value for the end user including the ability to custom-load your PHLiPBiTs. At the end of the talk, our products were chosen by the audience as their crowd favorite.

Hitting the market this year! We just opened up our reservation list for the first group of pre-orders. Wanna reserve yours? Come get ‘em here:

The post PHLiPBiT AT WRLA BUYING SHOW 2020 first appeared on TurnX Tools | PHLiPBiT - Double Ended Impact Bit System.

As summarized, the idea and product came about when my two sons and I were trying to figure out a better way to solve a common screw driving problem – encountering Phillips and Robertson/Square screws interchangeably in different drive sizes. If you’re a professional trades person: Electrician, Plumber, HVAC, Carpenter, Locksmith, Mechanic, Utility/Facilities Maintenance, Service Technician, Installer or a DIY-er, you know how frustrating it is to keep changing out bits back and forth, often misplacing or losing them.

Phillips and Robertson/Square screw drives are the most common, so it seemed logical to bring to market a “dual drive” quick release, impact rated bit in all sizes used in power screw drive machines. Something that you just flip to keep working!

Preferred Industrial connected with the organization that holds the patent for double ended screwdriver bits and presented the opportunity. With an enthusiastic YES, we designed and manufactured them, bringing the best power “screw driving” elements into one package. Thus, the PHLiPBiT was born.

To set the PHLiPBiT apart from the competition, we designed it with all these features:

a.  Dual Drive, Rob/Square on one end & Phillips on the other

b. 1/4″ Quick Release Hex Shank designed to fit impact rated drive machines

c.  Made from heat treated S2 Alloy Tool Steel for toughness and durability

d. Torsion Control Zone for less torque twist fatigue & failure

e.  Color-Coded, #1 Green: #4/6, #2 Red: #8/10, #3 Black: #12-1/4″ diameter screws

f.   Useful “Trade” lengths: 4″ 6″ & 10″

g.  CNC precision milled tips to hold and drive more screws with less round/strip/cam out

h.  Laser etched profile and sizing marked onto the body of the bit

i. Magnetic Tips

While it is true that reversible bits aren’t new, it’s the combination of the above features that makes PHLiPBiT unique. It complies with industry standards while giving solid performance.

As proof of the success, in the summer of 2018 every bit available sold-out within the first week. Subsequent batches have been arriving for distribution and selling out quickly.

We believe no other bit serves up all the features and benefits that PHLiPBiT does. Its more than a power bit, it’s an affordable super bit.

Try it yourself and make the PHLiP!

Not just a bit…ALOT BiT BETTER!
