Apex 170-5 Torq-set Power Screwdriver Bit No. 5 1/4 in Hex

Product Description

The APEX 170-5 is a Torq-Set specialty power screwdriver bit designed for use with No. 5 Phillips and No. 5 Torq-Set fasteners. It features a 1/4-inch hex drive shank and an overall length of 1.25 inches, making it compatible with standard power screwdriver handles and quick-change bit holders. The Torq-Set profile provides positive engagement in recessed Torq-Set fastener heads, reducing cam-out during high-torque driving. This bit is used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and maintenance mechanics who regularly encounter Torq-Set fasteners in equipment panels and assemblies.

The APEX 170-5 is suited for service and assembly applications where No. 5 Torq-Set fasteners are specified, including equipment enclosures, control panels, and mechanical assemblies common in commercial and residential trade work. The compact 1.25-inch overall length fits tight-clearance situations where longer bits would obstruct access. It accepts standard 1/4-inch hex bit holders and power screwdriver chucks.

Installation Notes

Install into any 1/4-inch hex quick-change bit holder or power screwdriver chuck before use. Confirm the fastener head matches the No. 5 Torq-Set profile before applying torque to avoid fastener damage. Inspect the bit tip for wear before each use session and replace worn bits to maintain proper fastener engagement.
