Apex 327-1X Slotted Power Screwdriver Bit 3.5 in Oal

Product Description

The APEX 327-1X is a slotted power screwdriver bit designed for use with 1/4 inch hex drive power tools and impact drivers. It features a blade width of 0.187 inches and an overall length of 3.5 inches, making it suitable for reach applications where a standard-length bit falls short. The bit is rated for screw sizes 4F through 5R and carries a body diameter of 0.19 inches with a blade thickness of 0.034 inches. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade mechanics use this type of bit for fastening slotted hardware in panel work, equipment enclosures, and mechanical assemblies.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial service work where slotted fasteners are encountered on equipment covers, junction boxes, terminal strips, and similar hardware. The 3.5 inch overall length provides additional reach into recessed or obstructed fastener locations without requiring an extension. It fits any 1/4 inch hex quick-change chuck, making it compatible with most cordless and corded power screwdrivers and impact drivers used in trade environments.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by trade professionals working with 1/4 inch hex drive power tools. Ensure the tool is powered off or the battery is removed before changing bits. Seat the bit fully into the chuck before applying torque to prevent cam-out or bit damage. Replace the bit if the blade shows signs of rounding or wear, as a damaged slotted bit increases the risk of fastener damage.
