Apex 445-3-15X Slotted Screwdriver Bit 1/4 Inch Drive

Product Description

The APEX 445-3-15X is a 1/4 inch drive slotted insert screwdriver bit machined from steel and sized for light-duty slotted fastener work in trade and industrial applications. The blade measures 1/4 inch wide by 0.042 inches thick, and the overall length (OAL) is 1-1/2 inches. As an insert bit, it seats directly into a 1/4 inch hex drive holder, impact driver, or bit extension without a separate adapter. HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers reach for insert bits like this when working inside panels, junction boxes, and equipment cabinets where blade-and-handle screwdrivers cannot clear the surrounding structure. The steel construction provides reliable torque transfer on standard slotted screw heads.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial service work wherever 1/4 inch slotted fasteners appear. Common applications include terminal screws on control boards, access panel fasteners on HVAC equipment, electrical box cover screws, and fixture mounting hardware. The insert format makes it compatible with standard bit holders and quick-change chucks used across the trades. It is sold and packaged as a single bit.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch wide by 0.042 inch blade fits standard slotted screw heads

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 1/4 inch hex drive bit holder, bit extension, or quick-change chuck that accepts 1/4 inch insert bits.

Installation Notes

Insert bits should be fully seated in the drive holder before applying torque to prevent cam-out or bit ejection. Inspect the bit tip for wear before use on finished or torque-sensitive fasteners. This bit is not rated for impact drivers unless the holder assembly is specifically rated for impact use. Match blade width and thickness carefully to the fastener slot to avoid fastener or bit damage.
