Apex 490 Power Hex Bit Holder 1/4 Inch Hex Drive

Product Description

The APEX 490 is a power hex bit holder designed to connect 1/4 inch hex shank bits to power drivers and impact tools. With an overall length of 2-1/8 inches and a body diameter of 7/16 inches, this holder provides a secure, positive connection between the drive tool and the bit. It accepts standard 1/4 inch hex bits and is built for repetitive fastening tasks in production, mechanical, and trade environments. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians use this type of holder to extend reach or adapt bit systems to power drivers without sacrificing bit retention.

This hex bit holder is suited for use in electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and general construction trades where power driving with interchangeable hex bits is routine. The 1/4 inch hex drive size is compatible with the most widely used quick-change bit systems. It works with standard power screwdrivers, cordless drills, and impact drivers that accept 1/4 inch hex shanks. Typical applications include panel assembly, equipment installation, and repetitive fastener driving where a dedicated bit holder keeps workflow moving efficiently.
