About Snappy Drill Bit Guides
Snappy drill bit guides are precision engineering accessories designed to ensure accurate, perpendicular drilling in a wide range of materials. These innovative guides transform standard hand drills into precision drilling tools, eliminating the common problem of angled or wandering drill bits. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks the complete range of Trend Snappy drill bit guides, including centring guides, pocket hole drill collars, and multi-piece sets suitable for various bit sizes and drilling applications.
Each Snappy guide features a quick-release mechanism that allows rapid bit changes whilst maintaining absolute accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Snappy drill bit guides compatible with all drill brands?
Yes, Snappy guides work with any standard hand drill or drill driver. They clamp onto the drill bit itself rather than the drill body, ensuring universal compatibility. The HSS Festool Centrotec version is specifically designed for Festool's Centrotec quick-change system.
What materials can I drill with Snappy guides?
Snappy guides are suitable for drilling wood, MDF, chipboard, plastic, and soft metals. The guide ensures accuracy but doesn't affect the bit's cutting capability – always use the appropriate drill bit type for your material.
How do the quick-release mechanisms work?
Each Snappy guide features a spring-loaded collar that releases the drill bit when squeezed, allowing rapid bit changes. Simply insert the bit to the correct depth, release the collar, and the guide locks securely in position for drilling.
