Apex M-490-2 Power Hex Bit Holder 1/4 in Hex Drive

Product Description

The APEX M-490-2 is a power hex bit holder designed for use with 1/4 inch hex shank power tool drive systems. It accepts standard 1/4 inch hex bits and provides a secure, positive connection between the bit and the tool. The overall length is 2 inches, and the body diameter measures 7/16 inches. This bit holder is suited for production assembly, mechanical work, and general fastening applications where quick bit changes and consistent torque transfer are required. It is commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other trade professionals working with power drivers and impact-rated tools.

This hex bit holder is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a 1/4 inch hex drive interface is standard. It fits into power screwdrivers, drill drivers, and impact drivers that accept 1/4 inch hex shanks. The 2 inch overall length provides enough reach for most standard fastening tasks without excessive extension. Typical installation scenarios include panel assembly, equipment mounting, and repetitive fastening work on job sites.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the bit holder into the 1/4 inch hex drive chuck of a compatible power tool and securing it per the tool manufacturer's procedure.

Inspect the holder for wear or deformation before use, as a damaged holder can cause bit slippage during operation.
