Allen tip 0.95mm BIG TIP

The precision allen bit for M2 screws that every preparer should have in their toolbox

Working with small format screws in slot racing requires tools that meet the demands. The 0.95 mm Big Tip Allen Bit SP141018 from Sloting Plus perfectly addresses this need: hardened steel, 0.95 mm hexagon, and a 2.3 mm diameter shank for a comfortable and snug fit with the most common M2 allen screws used in slot car preparation.

Technical specifications

• Material: hardened steel for increased wear resistance.
• Hexagon: 0.95 mm, specific for M2 allen screws.
• Shank diameter: 2.3 mm.
• Big Tip format: larger diameter shank that facilitates grip and torque transmission without slipping.
• Contents: bag with 1 unit.
• Reference: SP141018.
• Brand: Sloting Plus.

Function and performance

The Big Tip format is not a minor detail: a 2.3 mm diameter shank allows for more controlled tightening and loosening than standard tips with smaller sections, reducing the risk of rounding the screw head. In M2 slot screws, where margins are very tight, that control makes the difference between a clean fit and a damaged screw.

The hardened steel ensures that the bit maintains its hexagonal geometry even after intensive use in workshops or club sessions. Sloting Plus manufactures its tools with the demanding preparer in mind, and this bit is a good example of that.

Compatibility and assembly

This bit is designed for M2 allen screws with a 0.95 mm internal hexagon, a very common format in chassis, motor mounts, fasteners, and other components of slot cars from various brands. Always check that the hexagon of the screw corresponds to 0.95 mm before use; forcing a bit of the wrong size can damage both the tool and the screws.

Common mistakes

• Using a bit of incorrect size: in small format screws, tenths of a millimetre matter. Always verify the hexagon size before tightening.
• Applying too much force: M2 screws are delicate. Work with moderate torque, especially on soft materials like aluminium or plastic.
• Not replacing the bit when worn: a worn bit slips and damages the screw head. Having spare units on hand prevents mishaps at the least opportune moment.

Frequently asked questions

What screws is this bit intended for?

It is specifically designed for M2 allen screws with a 0.95 mm internal hexagon, very common in the preparation and tuning of slot cars.

What advantage does the Big Tip format have over a standard bit?

The larger diameter shank (2.3 mm) offers better grip and greater control when applying torque, reducing slipping and the risk of damaging the screw head.

Is it compatible with standard slot bit holders or screwdrivers?

The bit is designed to be used with bit holders or handles compatible with 2.3 mm shanks. Check the housing diameter of your tool before mounting it.

How many units are included in the order?

The order includes a bag with 1 unit.

Does the hardened steel make it more durable than conventional bits?

Yes. Hardening increases the surface hardness of the steel, resulting in greater wear resistance of the hexagon and a longer lifespan with continuous use.

The Sloting Plus SP141018 Big Tip allen wrench bit (0.95 mm hex, 2.3 mm shank) is a precision tool made from hardened steel, designed for M2 allen screws commonly found in slot car chassis, motor mounts and other components. An essential part of any serious slot car workshop toolkit, offering improved grip and reduced risk of stripping screw heads.
