Apex 480-TX-20X T20 Torx Insert Bit 5/16 Inch Hex Drive

Product Description

The APEX 480-TX-20X is a T20 Torx insert bit designed for use with 5/16 inch hex drive power tools and manual bit holders. Machined from steel, this bit measures 1-1/4 inches in overall length and is built for repetitive fastening and removal tasks in professional trade environments. The T20 Torx profile provides positive engagement with Torx-head fasteners, reducing cam-out under load. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors commonly use T20 Torx bits when working with equipment panels, enclosures, and assemblies that use Torx fasteners as tamper-resistance or torque-retention features.

The APEX 480-TX-20X is suited for use in residential and commercial service applications where a compact insert bit is required. Its 5/16 inch hex shank seats directly into standard 5/16 inch power screwdriver chucks, bit holders, and extension bars. The 1-1/4 inch OAL keeps the bit profile short for work in confined spaces. This bit ships individually and is intended for use as a replacement or add-to-kit option in an existing bit set.

Installation Notes

Insert the bit fully into the hex drive holder before applying torque. Verify the Torx size matches the fastener head before use to avoid fastener damage. No special tools or codes are required beyond a compatible 5/16 inch hex drive holder. Inspect the bit tip for wear and replace when rounding or deformation is visible.
