Apex 49-A-15IPX Torx Plus Bit T15 1/4 Inch Hex

Product Description

The APEX 49-A-15IPX is a T15 Torx Plus screwdriver bit designed for use with 1/4 inch hex drive power tools and hand drivers. Constructed from steel, this bit delivers the precise fit required by Torx Plus fastener heads, which feature slightly different geometry than standard Torx fasteners. The Torx Plus profile reduces cam-out and distributes torque more evenly across the fastener lobes. HVAC techs, electricians, and equipment service professionals frequently encounter Torx Plus fasteners on control boards, access panels, and equipment enclosures. This bit is a single-piece unit sold individually.

The 49-A-15IPX is suited for service work across residential and light commercial applications where Torx Plus fasteners are specified by the equipment manufacturer. Common use cases include disassembling HVAC equipment cabinets, electrical enclosures, and electronic control assemblies that use T15 Torx Plus fasteners. The 1/4 inch hex shank is compatible with standard quick-change bit holders, impact-rated bit extensions, and most cordless screwdriver chucks used in trade work.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit requires a 1/4 inch hex drive tool. Before servicing any equipment, de-energize the system and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures per OSHA and NEC guidelines. Verify the fastener is a Torx Plus head rather than a standard Torx head to avoid fastener or bit damage. Use appropriate torque control when driving fasteners into electronic assemblies or sheet metal panels.
