Screwdriver bit
View Patent ↗A screwdriver bit has a shank, a connecting portion, a necking portion defined between the shank and the connecting portion, a head disposed on a distal end of the connecting portion, multiple ribs separately arranged around the connecting portion and the necking portion and multiple shear grooves respectively defined between the connecting portion and the necking portion and each shear groove is defined between two adjacent ribs. When a torsion force is applied to the screwdriver bit, a shear force formed between the necking portion and the connecting portion is concentrated on points where the ribs and the shear grooves connect with each other in a dot-like form. Therefore, the screwdriver bit has strengthened shear strength and prolonged life for use.
