Apex 440-1X Phillips Insert Bit 1 Point 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The APEX 440-1X is a Phillips screwdriver insert bit designed for use in power tools and hand drivers with a 1/4 inch hex drive. Built from steel, this No. 1 point bit measures 1 inch in overall length and is suited for repetitive fastening tasks in demanding jobsite conditions. It fits standard 1/4 inch drive bit holders, impact drivers, and drill/drivers commonly used in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work. At 0.011 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece insert that can be swapped quickly in the field.

This insert bit is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where a No. 1 Phillips drive is required. Typical applications include securing sheet metal screws, control board mounting hardware, access panel fasteners, and electrical enclosure covers. Trades that regularly work with small-gauge fasteners in tight spaces will find this short 1 inch OAL useful for confined installation areas.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a 1/4 inch hex drive bit holder or impact driver before use. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the holder before applying torque to avoid cam-out or bit ejection. Replace the bit if the tip shows signs of rounding or wear, as a damaged tip can strip fastener heads. No special tools or trade licensing are required to use insert bits, though proper torque control is recommended to avoid damaging fasteners or mating hardware.
