Apex 440-TX-08X T8 Torx Bit 1/4 Inch Drive

Product Description

The APEX 440-TX-08X is a T8 Torx screwdriver bit with a 1/4 inch hex drive, designed for use in power screwdrivers, impact drivers, and manual bit holders. Built from steel, this bit delivers the torsional strength needed for repetitive fastening tasks in tight or confined spaces. The T8 Torx profile provides a secure, cam-out-resistant engagement on matching fasteners. With an overall length of 1 inch, this bit is suited for standard-depth applications where a compact profile is required. It is a go-to tool for HVAC technicians, electricians, and service professionals who regularly encounter T8 Torx fasteners on equipment panels, control boards, and enclosures.

The 440-TX-08X is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work. T8 Torx fasteners are commonly found on HVAC equipment access panels, electrical enclosures, and electronic control assemblies. The 1/4 inch hex shank fits standard bit holders and quick-change chucks, making it compatible with most cordless and corded power tools used in the field. It is equally functional in a manual screwdriver with a 1/4 inch hex bit collar.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by trade professionals including HVAC technicians and electricians during equipment service or panel access. Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NFPA 70E or OSHA lockout/tagout procedures before removing fasteners on live panels or control assemblies. Inspect the bit tip for wear before use, as a worn Torx profile increases the risk of fastener damage and cam-out.
