Apex 480-TX-45X T45 Torx Bit 5/16 Inch Drive

Product Description

The APEX 480-TX-45X is a T45 Torx screwdriver bit designed for use with 5/16 inch hex drive power tools and hand drivers. Built from steel, this bit delivers the torque transfer and bit-face engagement needed for T45 fasteners found in heavy equipment, HVAC components, and industrial assemblies. The overall length (OAL) measures 1.25 inches, making it a compact, direct-drive option suitable for tight-access work. Technicians working on equipment with Torx fasteners use bits like this daily as part of standard service kits.

The 480-TX-45X is suited for residential and commercial service applications wherever T45 Torx fasteners are present. Common use cases include HVAC cabinet panels, motor mounts, control board enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies that use Torx-head hardware. The 5/16 inch hex shank fits standard power screwdriver chucks, impact drivers, and manual bit holders used across HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades.
