Apex 49-B-10IPX Torx Plus 10IP Power Screwdriver Bit

Product Description

The APEX 49-B-10IPX is a Torx Plus power screwdriver bit designed for high-torque fastening applications in industrial, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical service work. Built around a 1/4 inch hex drive shank, this bit accepts standard 1/4 inch hex chuck power drivers and impact-rated tools. The Torx Plus 10IP tip profile provides a tighter fit in the fastener recess compared to a standard Torx drive, reducing cam-out and extending both bit and fastener life. Overall length is 3.5 inches, giving technicians sufficient reach for recessed or partially obstructed fastener locations. It ships as a single piece and is appropriate for professional use in production, service, and field environments.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial trade work where Torx Plus fasteners appear on equipment enclosures, control panels, fan assemblies, electrical fixtures, and mechanical housings. HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers encounter 10IP Torx Plus fasteners on a range of OEM equipment. The 3.5 inch overall length makes it practical for standard power drills, cordless drivers, and impact drivers with a 1/4 inch hex chuck. Single-piece packaging keeps inventory simple for field service kits and tool pouches.

Installation Notes

Torx Plus bits require a matching Torx Plus fastener — do not substitute a standard Torx T10 bit in a Torx Plus recess, as the geometry differs and will damage the fastener head. Confirm the driver chuck is fully seated on the 1/4 inch hex shank before applying torque. When servicing energized equipment, de-energize and lock out the circuit per applicable NFPA 70E safe work practices before accessing fastened enclosures or panels.
