Complete Guide to BOSCH GO2/GO3 Compatible Bits & Accessories

As a loyal user of the BOSCH GO series, from GO2 to GO3, my deepest feeling is that the "combat effectiveness" of these two mini electric screwdrivers depends entirely on how many suitable bits and accessories you choose. Whether it's daily home maintenance, furniture assembly, precision electronic repair, or DIY projects, selecting the right accessories can double the practicality of the GO2/GO3, eliminating the embarrassment of "having a tool but lacking the right bits". Today, we will comprehensively inventory all types of compatible bits and accessories for BOSCH GO2 and GO3, from basic models to advanced options, from single pieces to sets, helping you sort out your purchasing ideas and get the most value for your money.

First, a key premise to clarify: BOSCH GO2 and GO3 have the same interface specifications, so most bits and accessories are universal. The only minor difference is that the GO3 has an upgraded torque adjustment function, which is more stable when using high-torque bits, but this does not affect the compatibility of accessories. All the accessories recommended below can be easily used with both GO2 and GO3.

I. Basic Essential Bits: Daily Home Must-Haves (No-Brainer Purchases)

These bits cover 80% of daily use scenarios, suitable for most home maintenance and simple DIY projects. It is recommended to start with a set to avoid the trouble of buying single pieces separately.

1. Slotted/Phillips Bits (Core Must-Haves)

These are the most commonly used bits in daily life, suitable for tightening or loosening ordinary slotted and cross-recessed screws, such as furniture connectors, electrical switch panels, and toy screws.

Recommended Specifications: Priority is given to 65mm length bits, which balance versatility and convenience—too short may not reach deep holes, while too long is cumbersome to use. Choose high-hardness S2 steel material, which is wear-resistant and not easy to slip or break.

Recommended Set: 8-piece 65mm slotted/phillips bit set, including 4 slotted bits, 4 Phillips bits, and 2 Torx bits. Purchase link:

If your use scenarios go beyond daily home use, such as drilling, nut disassembly, or operation in narrow spaces, these advanced accessories can transform the GO2/GO3 into a multi-functional tool, even replacing some small electric drills and wrenches.

1. Drill Bits (For Drilling Needs)

Many people don't know that the GO2/GO3 can achieve small-scale drilling by matching with drill bits, which is very practical for daily DIY and light drilling tasks.

Recommended Styles:

Wood Drill Bits: 3-point wood drill bits (hex shank), 5-piece set, specifications 2-6mm, suitable for drilling on wood, plywood, and plastic. The 3-point design ensures 

 accurate positioning and no deviation during drilling.

 HSS Drill Bits: High-speed steel (HSS) drill bits, 13-piece set, specifications 1.5-6.5mm, suitable for thin metal, plastic, and acrylic materials. They have high hardness, wear resistance, and high drilling efficiency. Note to control the speed during drilling to avoid overheating and damage to the bits.

2. Socket Accessories (For Nut Disassembly)

When you need to disassemble nuts (such as furniture feet, electrical fixing nuts), ordinary bits cannot be used, and socket accessories are required. The GO2/GO3 can be used with sockets to replace small wrenches, making operation more labor-saving.

Recommended Styles:

 Soft Sleeve Sockets: 9-piece set, with non-slip soft sleeves, which can protect the nut surface from scratches and ensure a firm grip. Suitable for disassembly of precision nuts and decorative nuts.

 Magnetic Core Sockets: Hex shank magnetic core sockets, built-in strong magnet, which can adsorb nuts and avoid falling during disassembly, especially suitable for high-altitude operations or narrow spaces.

 Socket Set: 34-piece 1/4-inch screwdriver socket set, including various specifications of sockets, bits, and extension bars, one set to meet all nut disassembly and screw tightening needs, suitable for professional maintenance and multi-scenario use.

3. Extension Bars & Flexible Shafts (Narrow Space Saviors)

In daily use, it is often encountered that screws are in narrow spaces (such as deep inside wardrobes, under electrical appliances) or deep holes, and ordinary bits cannot reach them. Extension bars and flexible shafts can solve this problem and greatly expand the operation range of GO2/GO3.

Recommended Styles:

 Magnetic Extension Bar: BOSCH 55mm magnetic extension bar, built-in strong magnet, which can extend the operation length and adsorb screws, suitable for deep hole screw tightening and disassembly.

Flexible Shaft: 11-piece bit flexible shaft set (300mm), the flexible shaft can be 

 bent, and can go deep into irregular gaps, such as automotive interiors and electrical internal maintenance, making the GO2/GO3 more flexible to use.

4. Adapters & Chucks (Interface Expansion Tools)

If your existing accessories have inconsistent interfaces with GO2/GO3, or you need to expand functions, adapters and chucks are essential, which can reuse old accessories and save costs.

Recommended Styles:

 Size Adapter: 6mm to 4mm adapter (25mm length), which can convert 6mm interface accessories to 4mm, compatible with GO2/GO3 chucks, allowing old bits and drills to be reused.

 Hex Shank to 3-Jaw Chuck Adapter: Converts the GO2/GO3 hex shank to a 3-jaw chuck, suitable for clamping various specifications of bits and drills, expanding the use range, such as clamping precision drill bits and small grinding heads.
