Frequently Asked Questions

What do self-centering bits do?

Their precision conical nose-piece self-centers in a hardware hole to drill a perfectly centered pilot hole every time, keeping screws straight. Browse our drill bits & drivers.

Three sizes: 101-030 (5/64"), 101-031 (7/64"), and 101-032 (9/64"). You can also buy the complete set and save.

What are these bits used for?

They're ideal for drilling pilot holes for hinge screws and other hardware, ensuring screws drive in straight and flush.

How do I clear wood shavings from the bit?

Simply loosen the bit casing by hand to clear shavings quickly, then re-tighten and keep working.

Can I drill shelf pin holes with these?

For shelving, use the separate 101-033 Snappy Shelf Pin Drill Guides, which fit standard 3/8" shelf pin jigs and include a choice of 1/4" or 5mm brad-point drill bits. See our drilling & boring tools.

Is it cheaper to buy the set or individual bits?

You can buy individual sizes, but purchasing the complete set saves money if you need a range of pilot-hole sizes.

Which size should I pick?

Match the bit to your screw size: 5/64", 7/64", or 9/64". Use a larger drill for larger screws.

Do replacement drills exist for these bits?

Yes. Snappy offers replacement drills for the self-centering bit bodies, so a worn drill never means buying a whole new tool. See our Forstner bits and boring accessories.

Why use a self-centering bit instead of a regular drill?

A regular drill can wander off-center, producing crooked screws. The self-centering nose-piece guarantees the pilot hole is perfectly centered in the hardware.

Who makes these self-centering bits?

They are made by Make it Snappy Tools, a maker of precision drilling and driving accessories.
