SL10 is aligned to the hexagon base on two edges, SL8 is aligned to two vertices.

Wow, this is so mild. Well done.

Very manipulative post.
You make it look like SL10 would be great, and SL8 would be at fault. But you could also have placed the SL8 to be perfectly vertical, then things would not look that clear cut any more!
Justice for SL8!!!

It seems intentional that they are aligned differently so you can identify them?
Atropos 2 points 6 days ago
I'm sorry.
SL10 is a wider bit than SL8. It's oriented point to point on the 1/4 hex because that dimension is longer than flat-to-flat. Not sure why SL8 is the way it is, it could be oriented point-to-point or flat-to-flat and still be in spec either way.

The base of the flatheads are hexagonal.
drrodneymckay_ 5 points 6 days ago
My guess is the SL10 is wide enough that it needs the extra space available point to point, and as such is the only one that gets precision placement during machining.
I don't think I've seen a how it's made for driver bits. Would be interesting to know what special steps are needed.

Hexagonal material is fed through a die and held in place while grinding wheels push in the hollows in each face, generally simultaneously. The tip is cut off and sent to another process to finish the back and deburr.
The alignment of the head is intentional on both parts. Generally you want the flats to continue all the way up the side. Particularly wide flats have to be aligned diagonally.

Finally something that is truly MILDLY infuriating. Upvote!

I'd take it back, I wouldn't be able to handle that. It's making me itch.

Just take it out and turn it a little bit so it sits flush with the other?
taygaloocat 2 points 6 days ago
Ohhh right, would be good to have seen two positions, surely the one to the right isn't quite as bad as this

Two slotted screw hexagonal bit ratchet drivers were walking down the street. "hot enough for you?" said the first. "aaaa a talking slotted screw hexagonal bit ratchet driver" said the second

The Chinese worker producing these bits was a bit inattentive at the end of his 14h shift. Cut him some slack!
