Apex 328-5X Slotted Power Screwdriver Bit 6 in 1/4 Hex

Product Description

The APEX 328-5X is a slotted power screwdriver bit designed for use with power drivers and impact tools equipped with a 1/4 inch hex drive. Built to a 6 inch overall length, this bit reaches fasteners in recessed or deep-set applications where shorter bits fall short. The blade width measures 0.312 inches, sized for Screw Size 10F-12R slotted fasteners. It is a single-piece bit sold individually, suited for trade and production environments where precise fastener drive is required. HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical technicians install and replace these bits as standard consumables during equipment service and assembly work.

This bit is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial service applications wherever a slotted drive fastener is encountered. The 6 inch length makes it practical for panel work, electrical enclosures, and equipment access covers that require extended reach. It is compatible with any 1/4 inch hex power driver, cordless screwdriver, or quick-change bit holder. Single-piece packaging makes it straightforward to stock as a replacement in a service kit or tool bag.

Installation Notes

Seat the hex shank fully into the bit holder before operation to prevent slippage under load. Inspect the blade tip for wear or rounding before each use, as a worn slotted bit will cam out and damage fastener heads. Use at appropriate driver torque settings for the fastener size being driven. No power-down procedure is required for bit changes on battery-operated tools, but always verify the driver is not in an active trigger state before swapping bits.
