Apex EX-500-B-2 Hex to Square Extension Bit 2 Inches

Product Description

The APEX EX-500-B-2 is a hex to square extension power screwdriver bit designed for use with power drivers and impact tools in trade and industrial applications. At 2 inches overall length, this single-piece bit bridges a hex drive tool to a square drive fastener, expanding the range of a technician's existing driver without requiring a separate tool. It suits HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical tradespeople who regularly encounter mixed-drive fastener systems during equipment installation and service work.

This bit is well suited to commercial and residential service environments where technicians work across multiple equipment types with varying fastener drives. It is a compact, single-piece accessory that drops into a standard power driver and allows immediate use on square drive fasteners without swapping out the entire tool. The short 2-inch length keeps the bit close to the work surface, which is useful in confined equipment cabinets and panels.

Key Features

• Hex to square extension design bridges hex drive tools to square drive fasteners
• 2-inch overall length suits close-quarters work in equipment enclosures
• 0.25-inch (1/4-inch) drive size compatible with standard power driver chucks
• Single-piece construction with no moving components to wear or fail
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for extended use without hand fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style power screwdriver bit for use with 1/4-inch hex drive power drivers and impact drivers requiring a square drive output extension.

Installation Notes

Insert the hex shank fully into the power driver chuck and confirm it is seated and locked before applying torque. Ensure the driver is set to an appropriate torque or clutch setting for the fastener being driven to avoid stripping square drive recesses. Inspect the bit for wear or deformation before each use, as damaged bits can slip and cause fastener or tool damage.
