The pair of projections are positioned substantially opposite one another on said inner surface. The driver drill bit has a drilling head with a pair of cut-away portions positioned substantially opposite one another and a pair of locking surfaces adapted for engaging the projections on the crown bit. The square drill bit has a drilling head with two tapered cut-away portions positioned substantially opposite one another. Each cut-away portion corresponds to one of the pair of projections such that the drilling head is able to pass through the hollow passageway of the crown bit.
