I notice the BFR750Z comes with two Phillips heads. Can this tool be used with square head or torx or star. What varieties of screws are available.

I could only find squarehead and drywall screws locally at HD and could only buy the special long bits from the local makita service center, (30mins away) they have an extra long peice on the hex end past the ball indent ,so standard bits dont fit in the gun. I ended up returning mine as it just wasnt well enough supported locally to make all the hassles worth it.

Yes, it can be used with a Robertson (squarehead) bit. You will have to buy them separately. They are not expensive.

I ordered some square drive bits for this tool, don't know about torx or star.

Yes I use square head/Robertson bits that I buy from my local Makita parts/repair center. Makita supplies the full range of Robertson heads sizes. I don't know about torx or star, I would think a makita website could supply that answer. If you do a lot of screwing buy several bits the torque involved strips the driver heads quite quickly, a few extra bits on hand pays off when you factor in downtime and fuel costs of getting more should you strip the head of your lone bit.

Rosa, you need a small Phillips Head screwdriver for one of the units but not the other one.

YES, there are two bits included, 1 Phillips & 1 flat head. They store neatly in a small compartment in the handle. This unit has lots of torque & good battery life. I've even used it to drill some very small pilot holes for smaller screws. I tried other units & found this to be the best, I LOVE it.

I've only used it with the heads that came with it so I'm sorry but can't be of any help as far as drill bits.

As others are saying, paintbrush or qtip or something else that can reach into the blades is best.The fanguard is NOT EASY to take off. I was ready for 6 philips head screws, but instead it is 3 philips and 3 stars. I have the star bits, but they don't fit into the tiny hole that the screw resides.I ended up cleaning the blades with a paintbrush as well, but the back of the motor (center part) is still caked in dust since I can't reach it. Pretty disappointed in the design choice of star screws.

Yes, those bits will work in this screwdriver. The screwdriver comes with a flathead screw bit and a phillipshead screw bit. No. This is a relatively low RPM screwdriver and is not intended for drilling. It may drill holes in thin soft wood with the second set of bits you identified, but I would not expect to have satisfactory performance since it is really a screwdriver, not an electric drill.

No but there are torx star bits that you could maybe use instead? Depending on the size of the Allen wrench you are looking for

I'll bring one to my local hardware guy and get him to identify the specs on it. A couple of years ago I brought one to him to get same size in a wing-nut, but they were unavailable for that size. I'll update my answer in a day or two with the specs after I see the hardware guy.My hardware guy said it is a Socket Head Cap Screw --- 6mm x 16mm with a 1.0 pitch.

I am using ones that were originally for a hand drill with multiple heads. You just need to be sure the hexagonal base is the same.

Both chucks screw onto a 1"x 8 tpi head stock adaptor. The #1 taper is the I D of the spindle.

Couldn't remove bolts on a Tercel head. Thought they were 8 mm allen head, then thought they were t50 torx. Turns out they were something called triple square, looks like a 12 point torx. Invented in Germany. The Neiko xzn triple square solved my problem. Pricey but well worth it.

The drill only came with a one piece Phillips/flathead... I ordered the others at the same time for my husband off amazon too.

The 2 tri-wing screwdrivers that I bought through Amazon are similar in size to a Phillips head size 0. They were for a friend. I think she said they worked (to open a Nintendo). Anyway, there is a size 1 Philips, and I have used a size 0 successfully in its' place. I don't know if the tri-wing drivers are similarly numbered as Phillips.My tri-wings both say 360/Yx50 though they differ slightly in size. They took over a month to ship from China. Hope this helps.

Yes sir, I had a rounded head and uses 1size smaller, pounded the socket onto the rounded head. I used a 1/2 breaker bar with a pipe inserted over it to get extra purchase . One slow pull got her done. I was working on a salt water boat trailer springs, brake calipers. Never leave home without you Irwin Torques!

2 tips for slotted screws, 4 phillips, 4 torx, and 2 square drive. I have a photo but not seeing where I can download it for you.

The jig, drill and driver bit are designed for the Kreg screws and won't work with others. (The driver bit is even a custom size and Torx won't fit in the Kreg screws.) I had the same initial feeling about the screws, but decided to trust it on my composite deck. It really seems fine.

Perhaps there are different variations of this set being sold on Amazon under the same listing, because my set (bought from this listing) has 3 torx drivers (the star shaped screwdriver) and the two largest drivers DO in fact have holes in the middle. I can take and add a photo if you would like (just ask).
