The #2196 6-Lobe (TX) Driver Bit & Key Gage is a precision inspection tool designed to verify the dimensional accuracy of 6-lobe driver bits, keys, and screwdriver tooling.

Engineered for driver manufacturing and tooling quality control environments, the 2196 Series confirms that driver geometry meets TXF-805.1 and TXQ-805.1 standards for proper engagement with internal hexalobular fasteners.

This gage verifies:

• Driver tip profile geometry• Lobe conformity• GO acceptance limits• Tool manufacturing compliance

Each gage is heat treated, thermally stabilized, and surface treated to maximize wear resistance and long-term dimensional stability. All sizes are calibrated to specified tolerances and are traceable to NIST standards.

Ideal for:

• Driver bit manufacturers• Screwdriver production facilities• Tooling quality control labs• Automotive and aerospace driver suppliers• ISO-compliant manufacturing systems

The 2196 Series ensures proper driver engagement geometry before tooling is released to production or distribution.

  • 1) Standard References

    Configuration: Driver Bit, Key & Screwdriver Manufacturing GageStandard References: TXF-805.1, TXQ-805.1Drive Type: 6-Lobe (TX) / HexalobularCalibration: NIST TraceableSystem Compatibility: ISO 9001 Quality Systems

    2) Inspection Function

    The 2196 Series verifies:

    • Driver tip profile accuracy• Lobe form compliance• GO engagement geometry• Proper fit with compliant TX recesses

    This gage is intended for driver tooling inspection, not fastener inspection.

    3) Materials & Construction

    Universal’s 2196 Series gages are:

    • Heat treated for maximum hardness• Thermally stabilized to reduce dimensional shift• Surface treated for enhanced wear resistance• Precision ground to certified tolerance limits

    Designed for repeated laboratory and production inspection use.

    4) Certification & Traceability

    All gage sizes are calibrated to specified dimensions and tolerances and are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

    Optional documentation available:

    • Certificate of Conformance• ISO/IEC 17025 Calibration• Serialized identification• Calibration recall tracking
