Apex 328-1X Slotted Power Screwdriver Bit 6 in 1/4 Hex

Product Description

The APEX 328-1X is a slotted power screwdriver bit designed for use with power tools equipped with a 1/4 inch hex drive. With an overall length of 6 inches, a blade width of 0.187 inches, and a blade thickness of 0.034 inches, this bit is sized for screw sizes 4F through 5R. The body diameter measures 0.190 inches, giving it a balanced profile suited to power-driven fastening applications. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians reaching for a durable, precisely dimensioned slotted bit for production or service work will find this a direct fit for standard 1/4 inch hex power tool chucks and quick-change drivers.

This bit is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial service environments where slotted fasteners are encountered on HVAC enclosures, electrical panel covers, appliance housings, and general mechanical assemblies. Its 6 inch length provides added reach into recessed fastener locations without requiring an extension. Sold individually, it suits both single-replacement needs and stocking as part of a broader bit set in a service van or shop setting.

Installation Notes

Insert the 1/4 inch hex shank fully into the driver chuck or quick-change holder before applying torque. Confirm the bit is seated and locked before operating the tool. Inspect the blade tip for wear or deformation before each use, as a damaged slotted tip can strip fastener heads. Always follow tool manufacturer guidance for maximum torque ratings when using power drivers.
