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

Product Description

The APEX M-490-4 is a power hex bit holder designed for use with 1/4 inch hex shank power bits in impact drivers, drills, and power screwdrivers. It accepts standard 1/4 inch hex bits and provides a secure, positive connection during high-torque power tool operation. The holder measures 4 inches in overall length with a 7/16 inch body diameter, giving technicians and tradespeople a reliable extension point between the tool and the bit. It is well suited for production assembly, mechanical work, and general fastening applications where repeated bit changes and consistent drive alignment are required.

This bit holder is used in commercial and industrial settings as well as on residential job sites wherever a 1/4 inch hex power bit drive is needed. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors commonly keep this type of holder in their kit for quick bit swaps during installation work. The 4 inch length provides added reach in tight or recessed fastener locations without requiring a full extension.
