Tri Wing Bit

A tri wing bit is a drill bit that is designed specifically for use with a tri wing screw. The tri wing system is sort of like a Phillips system in the way that it allows for more than one blade, but the blades are a lot different. There are three slots, and they have a sort of winged appearance.

These types of screws are typically used by people who want to restrict access to certain components, especially those inside of an electrical device. Since tri wing bits are rarely found in hardware stores, it is thought that few people will have the means to open such a device...although, these types of screws, and tri wing bits are available legally online.

There are some variations of the tri wing bit, including one that is almost exactly the same, except that it does not have a triangle in the middle...it is simply made of three wings.

If you are looking for a way to keep people from stealing things like light fixtures, light switches, or anything else like this, then a tri wing bit with some tri wing screws might just be the ticket. These are definitely useful when you are trying to use something out of the ordinary, most people do not have the capability to remove screws of this design due to their obscurity.

As for where to buy a tri wing bit or a tri wing screwdriver, you should probably start online. If you have a large tool retailer near you, then you might be able to find it without going online...but part of the reason why these types of drill bits are used is because of their obscurity.

Therefore, you can see how they might be challenging to find if you do not look in the right place. That is why you will probably need to utilize the internet to find a tri-wing drill bit and matching screws for your project.

When you do find a tri wing bit for sale online, it is probably a good idea to buy a whole set of them. You can actually buy ten or so without really spending much money...and the good thing about this idea is that you will not be left without a tri wing bit if the need comes up to use one.

Imagine ordering just one bit, getting half of your job done, and then breaking or losing it! You would need to halt the project, order another drill bit, and wait for it to arrive before resuming. Needless to say, you can save a lot of frustration by just buying a good amount the first time.

Also, make sure to order enough screws the first time around, as it can be hard to find them at the local retailer as well. Count out about how many screws you are going to need, and then order several extra. It is a good idea to order at least a couple hundred extra for a big job, or a few extra for a small job.
