Apex 320-1X Slotted Power Screwdriver Bit 1/4 Hex Drive

Product Description

The APEX 320-1X is a slotted power screwdriver bit designed for use with 1/4 inch hex drive power tools and quick-change bit holders. The bit measures 1-15/16 inches in overall length with a blade width of 0.187 inches and a blade thickness of 0.034 inches. Body diameter is 0.190 inches. Built to seat securely in standard 1/4 inch hex drive chucks, this bit is suited for production assembly, field service, and maintenance work where consistent fastener engagement and bit retention matter. It is sold as a single piece.

This bit is appropriate for slotted fastener applications across a wide range of trade and light industrial settings, including HVAC equipment assembly, panel work, electrical enclosure fastening, and general mechanical maintenance. The 1/4 inch hex shank is compatible with standard power screwdrivers, impact-rated bit holders, and hand-held hex chuck drivers. It fits screw sizes in the 4F-5R range, making it a common choice for small-fastener work on equipment covers, junction boxes, and access panels.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond a compatible 1/4 inch hex drive tool. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the chuck or bit holder before applying torque to avoid cam-out or fastener damage. Inspect the blade tip for wear or chipping before each use, particularly in power-drive applications. Dispose of worn bits rather than continuing use, as a damaged tip increases the risk of fastener head damage.
