Apex 445-1X Slotted Screwdriver Bit 3/16 in 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The APEX 445-1X is a 1/4 inch drive slotted insert screwdriver bit designed for use with standard 1/4 inch hex drive tools and bit holders. The blade measures 3/16 inches wide by 0.034 inches thick, with a 1 inch overall length. Constructed from steel, this bit is built for repetitive use in professional hand tool and power screwdriving applications. It is a non-reversible insert bit suited for driving slotted fasteners in tight or production-line settings where a dedicated bit is preferred over a full-length screwdriver.

This insert bit is a common fit for HVAC panel cover screws, electrical enclosure hardware, and light-gauge sheet metal fasteners — applications where slotted drive fasteners remain standard. The compact 1 inch overall length makes it well suited for use in right-angle adapters and confined spaces where a longer bit would not clear surrounding components. Residential and commercial service technicians working across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades will find this a practical addition to a bit assortment.

Installation Notes

Insert bits should be seated fully in the bit holder before applying torque to prevent cam-out or bit ejection. Inspect the blade tip for wear or deformation before use, as a damaged tip increases the risk of fastener and slot damage. This bit is intended for slotted drive fasteners only and should not be used on Phillips, Torx, or other drive types.
