Apex 49-B-TX-27 T27 Torx Power Bit 1/4 Inch Hex Drive

Product Description

The APEX 49-B-TX-27 is a T27 Torx power screwdriver bit designed for use with 1/4 inch hex drive power tools and impact drivers. With an overall length of 3.5 inches, this bit reaches fasteners in recessed or hard-to-access locations where a standard-length bit falls short. The body diameter measures 0.22 inches (5.50 mm), providing a precise fit in T27 Torx fasteners commonly found in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies. The bit weighs 0.045 pounds, making it a lightweight addition to any service kit. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and service professionals who work with T27 hardware will find this bit a reliable daily-use tool.

This bit is suited for both residential and commercial service work where T27 Torx fasteners are specified. Typical applications include securing sheet metal panels on air handlers, furnace cabinets, and electrical junction boxes. The 3.5 inch overall length gives added reach when working in tight spaces, such as behind control boards or inside equipment cabinets where a standard bit does not provide enough clearance. It is sold individually and is compatible with any 1/4 inch hex quick-change chuck.

Installation Notes

Always power down or de-energize equipment before removing or installing fasteners on electrical or mechanical enclosures. Confirm the Torx size matches the fastener head before applying torque to avoid cam-out damage. For power tool use, set the clutch to an appropriate torque setting to prevent stripping fastener heads. Replace the bit if the tip shows visible wear or rounding.
