Product Description

The APEX 326-00X is a slotted power screwdriver bit designed for use with 1/4 inch hex-drive power tools and bit holders. It features a blade width of 0.134 inches and a blade thickness of 0.026 inches, making it suited for screw sizes in the 2F-3R range.

This bit is applicable across residential and light commercial service work wherever a 1/4 inch hex quick-change drive is used. It fits standard 1/4 inch hex bit holders, magnetic bit holders, and direct-chuck power screwdrivers. The slotted tip geometry is appropriate for flat-head and slotted machine screws commonly found on electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and plumbing fixture trim. It is sold as a single piece, making it a practical replacement or add-to-kit option for field service kits.

Installation Notes

Insert the 1/4 inch hex shank fully into the bit holder or chuck before operating the tool. Match the blade width to the fastener slot width before driving to avoid cam-out or fastener head damage. Use appropriate torque settings on power tools to prevent over-driving. Inspect the bit tip for wear or rounding before each use, as a worn slotted tip increases the risk of slipping and fastener damage.
