Apex 170-3 Screwdriver Bit Phillips 3 Torq-set 1/4 Hex

Product Description

The APEX 170-3 is a dual-function power screwdriver bit designed for use with both Phillips 3 and Torq-Set 3 specialty fasteners. Built for power tool use with a 1/4-inch hex shank, it fits directly into standard quick-change bit holders and impact-rated drivers common on commercial and industrial job sites. The overall length of 1.25 inches keeps the bit compact for use in tight spaces without sacrificing reach. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades rely on this bit type when working with panel fasteners, equipment enclosures, and specialty hardware that requires a Torq-Set drive profile.

This bit is suited for light commercial and industrial applications where Torq-Set fasteners are specified, including aerospace-adjacent equipment panels, HVAC unit enclosures, and electrical control cabinet assembly. The Phillips 3 geometry makes it equally useful for standard large-head fasteners found across general trade work. Its compact OAL makes it practical in confined installation areas where longer bits would be obstructed.

Key Features

• Accepts both Phillips 3 and Torq-Set 3 specialty fastener profiles in a single bit
• 1/4-inch hex drive shank fits standard quick-change bit holders and power drivers
• 1.25-inch overall length for use in space-constrained installations
• Designed for power tool use, compatible with electric and cordless drivers
• Single-piece construction with no loose components

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement bit for standard 1/4-inch hex quick-change bit holders used in power screwdrivers and cordless drivers across trade and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Insert the 1/4-inch hex shank into a compatible quick-change bit holder and confirm it is fully seated before applying torque. De-energize any electrical panel or equipment enclosure before driving or removing fasteners in live electrical environments. Do not use impact drivers at full torque settings on Torq-Set fasteners unless the bit is rated for impact use. Inspect the bit tip for wear before each use, as a worn Torq-Set profile will cam out and damage specialty fastener heads.
