Description

1/4-Inch Drive Phillips PH3 Socket Bit, Chrome-Vanadium Steel

Overview

This PH3 Phillips socket bit delivers reliable, repeatable fastening performance for technicians and shops working with Phillips-head screws and fasteners. Built from chrome-vanadium steel with a polished chrome finish, it integrates seamlessly into any 1/4-inch drive system. Whether you're handling electronics assembly, automotive interior work, or general mechanical fastening, this bit resists wear and maintains tip geometry through extended use. Pair this with smaller Phillips options like the PH0 or PH1 or step up to larger PH4 sizes as your fastening requirements expand.

Key Features

  • Knurled Grip Band: Textured collar provides secure finger control and reduces slippage during manual operation
  • Precision PH3 Tip: Cross-shaped Phillips geometry engineered to minimize stripping on properly-sized fasteners
  • Polished Chrome Finish: Professional appearance with corrosion resistance for workshop and field use

Why Stock This Socket Bit

Volume & Profitability:
Phillips screws remain ubiquitous across automotive, consumer electronics, and light assembly work. A 1/4-inch drive system represents one of the most accessible price points for your customers—stocking the PH3 size (the most common Phillips specification) ensures you capture baseline fastening demand without high inventory burden.

Durability & Repeat Sales:
Chrome-vanadium steel withstands repetitive use. Unlike softer bits that strip quickly, this socket maintains tip integrity through hundreds of cycles, building customer trust and reducing warranty returns.

System Expansion:
Your customers will buy the PH3 as part of a growing kit. This single SKU naturally drives demand for companion bits (PH0–PH4) and complete drive-system solutions, increasing basket size and customer lifetime value.

Recommendation for Resellers

Stock this alongside your full Phillips range to cover all common fastener sizes. The 1/4-inch drive segment commands consistent volume at profitable margins—especially when bundled with socket sets or sold as individual replacements to shops extending their existing tool systems.
