Apex 954-2X Square Recess Screwdriver Bit No. 2 1/4 in Hex

Product Description

The APEX 954-2X is a No. 2 square recess power screwdriver bit designed for use with 1/4 inch hex drive power tools and bit holders. It measures 1-15/16 inches in overall length and is built for fast, repetitive fastening tasks common in HVAC panel assembly, electrical rough-in, and mechanical equipment installation. The square recess drive style delivers positive engagement with the fastener, reducing cam-out and bit slippage under power. Sized for No. 8 to No. 10 set screws, this bit suits a wide range of equipment cover screws and junction box hardware encountered in daily trade work.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial installation and service work where square recess fasteners are standard. Typical applications include securing electrical enclosure covers, HVAC cabinet panels, and mechanical equipment access doors. It fits any 1/4 inch hex quick-change driver, inline screwgun, or right-angle attachment commonly carried by electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers. The compact 1-15/16 inch overall length allows use in tight clearance areas without sacrificing torque transfer.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and replaced by any trade professional using a 1/4 inch hex drive power tool. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the driver chuck or quick-change holder before applying power to prevent slipping or fastener damage. Inspect the bit tip regularly for wear, as a worn square recess tip increases the risk of cam-out and fastener head damage. No special tools or codes are required for bit replacement.
