Fit perfectly
My Citori handguard screws have a very thin slot. This bit was the only one I could find that would not damage the screwheads. This worked perfectly!

Essential and Replaceable
I bought one of the largest sets about 7 years ago. I've used them a lot and specifically for many older guns with many tough/stuck screws. The precise fit you can get by carefully selecting which bit to use is critical, especially on the old guns. The better the fit, the easier it will be and much less likely you can tell someone put a screwdriver to it. These bit do need some softness to them, and they will bend/twist if the screw is too stuck. I believe the theme is that they'll twist bad before damaging the screw head becomes too likely. Either way, buy the sets and have each size. There's a lot of specialty bits in the largest sets, but I eventually needed those specialty bits, so I guess it all worked out. Glad replacements are easy to get! Not only lets you replace the ones you bend too much, but also lets you grind on them to get a more perfect fit when needed. Critical investment to make if doing older guns at all, as those NEED these bits.

As thin as it gets
I specifically bought this for my Beretta EL 950 BS Jetfire .22 LR Pistol. The grip screws slot is razor thin. Even this bit that I bought won't fit it. Just a little bit of grinding made it work. As always with Brownells comes fast shipping and great customer service! A+++++
