#2197 6-Lobe (TX) User Driver Bit & Key Gage

The #2197 6-Lobe (TX) User Driver Bit & Key Gage is a receiving inspection tool designed to verify the dimensional conformity of finished driver bits, keys, and screwdriver tooling prior to production use.

Engineered for end users, assembly facilities, and quality laboratories, the 2197 Series confirms that supplied 6-lobe driver tooling meets TQM-805.4 and TXQ-805.4 standards for proper engagement with compliant hexalobular fasteners.

Unlike manufacturing driver gages, this inspection gage is intended to validate incoming tooling to ensure correct geometry, proper fit, and acceptance compliance before release to the production floor.

The 2197 Series verifies:

• Driver tip geometry• Lobe conformity• GO and NO-GO acceptance limits• Engagement compatibility

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

Ideal for:

• Assembly facilities• Automotive manufacturing plants• Aerospace production environments• Supplier validation programs• ISO-compliant receiving inspection departments

The 2197 Series ensures driver tooling performs correctly before it contacts production fasteners.
