Apex 2282D Screw Starter Slotted Chrome Alloy Steel

Product Description

The APEX 2282D is a slotted-drive screw starter designed to hold fasteners securely during installation, giving technicians better control in confined or hard-to-reach areas. The twist-to-hold bit mechanism grips the screw without requiring hand pressure to maintain contact, freeing the other hand for positioning or guiding. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, the tool resists corrosion and handles the demands of daily trade use. A strong magnet on the opposite end retrieves dropped screws and small metal parts from tight spaces, reducing downtime on the job.

The 2282D suits electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades who regularly work inside panels, junction boxes, equipment cabinets, and other areas where finger access is limited. The slotted drive configuration makes it compatible with standard flat-head fasteners commonly found in legacy equipment and electrical enclosures. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both shop and field use.

Installation Notes

No power source or calibration is required for this hand tool. Confirm the slotted bit size matches the fastener head before applying torque to avoid cam-out or fastener damage. Keep the magnetic tip clear of sensitive electronic components such as circuit boards or sensors during use. Standard hand-tool handling practices apply.
