Installation tools for professional fastening work
Installation tools that help the job go smoothly
Our installation tools range brings together the practical tooling used around everyday fastening work on site. This includes bit holders, sockets, drive bits, drill bits, hammer drills and selected blind rivet tools for professional installation work.
Whether you need the right holder for 1/4" bits, the right socket style for repetitive fixing, longer reach for difficult positions, or a rivet tool matched to your working range, this page gives you a clearer overview before you go deeper into our catalogue.
What is included in our installation tools range
Bit holders and sockets
Our range includes bit holders for 1/4" bits together with magnetic sockets, spring sockets and ball sockets in several sizes and lengths. This gives you practical options for different fastener heads, access conditions and working preferences on site.
Drive bits for common recesses
We cover a broad selection of drive-bit profiles, including slotted, square, double-square, Phillips, Pozi and Torx. That makes this page useful when you need to match the tool to the actual recess used across different fixing systems rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all setup.
Torx bits, bit sets and extra-deep sockets
The range also includes Torx bits in multiple lengths, practical bit sets for sheet metal and ventilation work, and extra-deep spring sockets for mounting nuts on longer screws and threaded rod. These are the kinds of details that make repetitive installation work faster and more controlled.
See Torx bits, bit sets and extra-deep sockets on page 66 in our catalogue
Drill bits and hammer drills
For applications that require pre-drilling, our range also includes HSS drill bits with 1/4" shank and hammer drills with SDS Plus fitting. This makes the page useful not only for holders and bits, but also for the tooling around the full installation sequence.

Detailed installation tool data in our catalogue
Use the catalogue below to compare our installation accessories and blind rivet tools in more detail. It is the best place to review holder styles, socket sizes, bit profiles, working lengths and the blind rivet tool options included in the range.
For this page, the most relevant catalogue area starts with the accessory pages and then continues to the dedicated rivet-tool page. That gives visitors a clearer path from everyday screw-installation tooling to blind rivet installation tools.

Need help choosing the right installation tool?
Choosing the right installation tool is often about the small details: the correct recess, the right socket style, enough reach, or the right rivet tool for the diameters you use most. We help you match the tooling to the fastening method so the installation works more smoothly in practice.
If you are comparing options for sheet metal work, ventilation work, drilling or blind riveting, talk to our team and we will help you narrow the choice faster.
How do I choose between a magnetic socket and a spring socket?
The right choice depends on how you want the fastener to be held during installation and how you prefer to work on site. A magnetic socket can be a practical option when you want the fastener held in place more directly, while a spring socket can be useful when the fastener and working method call for a different grip. If you are unsure, we can help you choose the most suitable option for the fastener type and installation setup you use most.
When do I need a bit holder instead of a socket?
A bit holder is the right choice when you are working with interchangeable bits and need flexibility across different recess types such as Phillips, Pozi or Torx. A socket is more suitable when the fastener head calls for that style of installation. In practice, the choice comes down to the fastener design, the drive system and how often you switch between different fixing types during the job.
Why does bit length matter when choosing installation tools?
Bit length matters because access conditions are not always the same. A shorter bit can be the better option when you want a more compact setup, while a longer bit can help when you need extra reach or more clearance around the fixing point. Our range includes multiple bit lengths so you can match the tool setup more closely to the actual working position.
Do you offer installation tools for both screw fixing and blind riveting?
Yes. This page brings together installation tools for everyday screw installation as well as blind rivet installation. That includes holders, sockets, drive bits, drill-related tools and dedicated blind rivet tools. It is designed as a broader tooling page for professionals who need more than one type of installation method in daily work.
When is a battery-powered blind rivet tool the better choice?
A battery-powered blind rivet tool is often the better choice when riveting is a regular part of the work and you want a faster, more efficient installation process. For lighter or more occasional riveting work, manual blind rivet pliers may be fully suitable. The best option depends on how often the tool will be used and which rivet diameters you need to cover.
Can Unite help us choose the right installation tool setup for our fastening system?
Yes. We regularly help customers match the tool type, drive profile, socket style, bit length and rivet tool to the fastening system they use. That can save time, reduce mismatches on site and make it easier to build a more practical installation setup for the work you do most.
