The Simpson T25 Offset Driver-Bit Kit for Strong-Drive SDPW Deflector Screws is a replacement accessory kit engineered to keep your deflector screw installations running without interruption. Designed specifically for use with the Simpson Strong-Drive SDPW Deflector screw system, this kit provides the precise tooling needed to drive 3-1/2 in. and 5 in. SDPW Deflector screws into non-load-bearing wall-to-truss and wall-to-joist connections with consistent, controlled results. Each kit includes two T25 offset driver bits and one 3/8 in. quick-release predrill bit, giving installers a ready-to-use set of drive accessories that pair directly with the SDPW Deflector screw system.

Key Features

• Compatible with 3-1/2 in. and 5 in. SDPW Deflector screws - purpose-matched tooling eliminates guesswork and ensures proper drive engagement on the exact screw sizes used in deflection applications.
• Dual offset setting options - the offset driver bits can be set to provide either a 3/4 in. offset from the screw head to the wood surface or to drive the screw flush with the wood surface, giving installers the flexibility to meet varying job site requirements without switching tools.
• Includes a 3/8 in. x 5 in. quick-release predrill bit - sized specifically for predrilling top plates prior to SDPW Deflector screw installation, reducing the risk of wood splitting and speeding up prep work.
• Quick-release predrill bit fits most driver motors - broad compatibility means installers can use existing tools on the job site rather than sourcing specialized equipment.
• Designed for use with the SDPW Deflector screw bit extension, model PW18EXT (sold separately) - supports extended-reach installations where direct driver access is limited, keeping the full system modular and adaptable.

Why This Product

• System-matched replacement tooling - because these bits are designed specifically for the Simpson Strong-Drive SDPW Deflector screw, installers get drive accessories that work as intended within the system rather than improvising with general-purpose bits that may not seat correctly.
• Two depth-control settings in one kit - the ability to toggle between a 3/4 in. offset and a flush drive position means a single set of bits can handle multiple installation scenarios, reducing the need to carry additional tooling.
• Predrilling and driving covered together - combining both the T25 offset driver bits and the quick-release predrill bit in a single kit means installers have everything needed to handle top-plate prep and screw driving without sourcing accessories separately.
• Carbon steel construction - the material choice supports the durability demands of structural fastening work, making this kit a practical long-term replacement for worn or missing drive accessories in the SDPW Deflector screw workflow.
