Apex 49-B-15IPX Torx Plus 15IP Power Screwdriver Bit

Product Description

The APEX 49-B-15IPX is a power screwdriver bit designed for Torx Plus fastener drive applications. It features a 15IP Torx Plus tip profile and a 1/4 inch hex shank, making it compatible with standard quick-change power tool chucks. The overall length of 3.5 inches provides extended reach in confined spaces, which is common in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture assemblies. Licensed contractors and service technicians rely on this bit for production-speed fastening on equipment that uses Torx Plus fasteners rather than standard Torx profiles. The 15IP Torx Plus geometry reduces cam-out compared to standard Torx, preserving both the fastener head and the bit under high-torque power driving.

This bit is suited for any trade application requiring a 15IP Torx Plus drive, including reassembly of HVAC control panels, electrical enclosure covers, and equipment housings that use Torx Plus fasteners. The 1/4 inch hex drive fits most inline, pistol-grip, and right-angle power drivers used in field service work. The 3.5 inch overall length is particularly useful when accessing recessed fasteners behind panels or inside equipment cabinets where a standard-length bit would not reach.

Key Features

• 15IP Torx Plus tip profile for use with Torx Plus fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental power screwdriver bit for use with any 1/4 inch hex-drive power tool or manual bit holder requiring a 15IP Torx Plus tip.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed into any 1/4 inch hex quick-change chuck on a power driver or manual screwdriver handle. Verify the fastener head is a Torx Plus (IP) profile and not a standard Torx profile before driving, as the two look similar but are not interchangeable. De-energize any equipment fully before removing or reinstalling fastened covers or panels. Inspect the bit tip for wear before use to avoid stripping Torx Plus fastener heads.
