Depth setting bit drivers, systems and related methods

A depth setting bit driver configured to rotate a bit about a longitudinal axis of the driver, comprising:

• a drive member comprising a drive spindle and a drive body comprising an inner adapter cavity and a plurality of external circumferentially-arranged first bearing surfaces that are extended along two-dimensions;
• a drive connector comprising a coupling portion rotationally coupled and longitudinally fixed within the adapter cavity and a first bearing portion comprising an inner bit retention cavity and a plurality of external circumferentially-arranged second bearing surfaces that are extended along two directions;
• a drive sleeve comprising a longitudinal drive cavity comprising a disengagement portion with non-bearing internal surfaces and a clutch portion comprising a plurality of internal circumferentially-arranged third bearing surfaces that are extended along two directions;
• and
• a stop portion rotationally coupled to the drive sleeve comprising a longitudinal free end portion configured to engage a workpiece,
• wherein the drive sleeve is telescopingly coupled with the drive member and the drive connector between a longitudinally extended engaged arrangement and a longitudinally retracted disengaged arrangement with respect thereto,
• wherein, in the longitudinally extended engaged arrangement, the first and second bearing surfaces are in engagement with the third bearing surfaces to rotationally lock the drive member and the drive connector, and
• wherein, in the longitudinally retracted disengaged arrangement, one of the first and second bearing surfaces are positioned within the disengagement portion of the drive cavity to rotationally unlock the drive member and the drive connector.
