My fault for not looking at the picture more carefully before buying. The description even says INVERTED TYPE. The tool is quite well made but not what I expected or wanted. I have not come across a use for this type of strap duplicator yet but for the price of the tool relative to the shipping I will just keep them and see if a need ever comes up.

Instrument screws are usually a 6-32 so you would want a #35 bit. I would go with the number 30 duplicator to make the initial hole and then follow up with a #35 drill.
Those are the lengths of the tool itself.
