Product Description

The APEX M-490-6 is a power hex bit holder designed for use with 1/4 inch hex shank power bits in impact drivers, electric screwdrivers, and drill/drivers. The holder measures 6 inches in overall length with a 7/16 inch body diameter, giving technicians and tradespeople added reach in tight or deep fastening applications. It accepts standard 1/4 inch hex bits and is built to transfer torque efficiently under powered operation. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use this type of bit holder regularly when production fastening or extended reach is required on the job.

This bit holder is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a powered 1/4 inch hex drive tool is in use. The 6 inch length makes it practical for recessed fastener locations, panel work, electrical boxes, and similar confined spaces. It is compatible with any standard 1/4 inch hex drive power bits and fits cordless or corded power tools accepting a 1/4 inch hex shank. Installers working in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades will find this a useful addition to their driver bit sets.
