Apex 320-5X Slotted Power Screwdriver Bit 1/4 Hex

Product Description

The APEX 320-5X is a slotted power screwdriver bit designed for use with 1/4 inch hex drive power tools and impact drivers. Built to fit screw sizes 10F through 12R, this bit features a blade width of 0.312 inches and an overall length of 1-15/16 inches, making it well-suited for production, assembly, and service applications where consistent drive engagement matters. The blade thickness of 0.046 inches and body diameter of 0.05 inches are engineered for precise fit in slotted fasteners, reducing cam-out and wear during repetitive use. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals working with panel screws, covers, and terminal blocks will find this bit a practical addition to their bit sets.

This slotted screwdriver bit is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where 1/4 inch hex-drive bit holders or quick-change chucks are standard. It suits work on electrical panels, junction boxes, HVAC access covers, and equipment where slotted fasteners remain in service. At 1-15/16 inches overall length, the bit fits standard bit holders without requiring an extension in most enclosed or semi-enclosed installation scenarios. It is sold as a single piece, allowing targeted replacement when worn bits need swapping out of a larger set.

Installation Notes

Insert the 1/4 inch hex shank fully into the bit holder or quick-change chuck before applying torque to ensure secure seating. Verify the bit blade width matches the fastener slot width before driving to avoid fastener damage or bit breakage. Inspect the bit for wear or chipping before each use and replace when blade edges show visible rounding. No special tools or trade licensing are required for bit installation, but follow applicable safety practices for the power tool in use.
