Apex 170-8 Torq-set Power Screwdriver Bit Size 8 1/4 in Hex

Product Description

The APEX 170-8 is a Torq-Set specialty power screwdriver bit designed for use with 1/4 inch hex drive power tools and impact drivers. It features a No. 8 Torq-Set specialty point matched to a No. 8 Phillips profile, with an overall length of 1.25 inches. Torq-Set fasteners are commonly found in aerospace, defense, and precision mechanical assemblies where anti-cam-out drive geometry is required. This bit is built for professional use in environments where standard Phillips bits are insufficient for the fastener pattern.

This bit is suited for technicians and assemblers working with Torq-Set fasteners in industrial, aerospace-adjacent, or specialty mechanical applications. The 1/4 inch hex shank fits standard power screwdriver chucks and quick-change bit holders. Its compact 1.25 inch overall length makes it practical in confined fastener access points. Sold as a single piece, it is appropriate for targeted replacement or addition to an existing bit set.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a 1/4 inch hex quick-change chuck before applying torque. Verify the Torq-Set point size matches the fastener recess before driving to avoid fastener or bit damage. Use appropriate torque settings on the power tool for the fastener material and application. Always de-energize or power down the tool before changing bits.
