Apex P-320X Slotted Power Screwdriver Bit 8F-10R 1/4 in Hex

Product Description

The APEX P-320X is a slotted power screwdriver bit designed for use with power screwdrivers and electric drill drivers in production, assembly, and maintenance applications. It features an 8F-10R specialty point size suited for driving screw sizes 8 through 10, paired with a 1/4 inch hex drive shank for quick-change tool compatibility. The overall length of 3-3/4 inches provides added reach in confined spaces or deep-access fastening situations. The finder sleeve aids in screw pickup and alignment during repetitive driving tasks. Blade thickness measures 0.0420 inches, and the body diameter is 0.290 inches. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing work rely on this type of bit for consistent torque transfer during panel assembly and equipment installation.

The P-320X is appropriate for light industrial and commercial assembly environments as well as field service work. The 1/4 inch hex drive is compatible with standard quick-change bit holders and impact-rated extension bars commonly found on jobsites. The slotted tip geometry targets slotted-head fasteners in screw sizes 8 through 10, which appear frequently on electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and access covers. This bit is sold individually, making it a practical replacement for worn or damaged bits in an existing set.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for 1/4 inch hex drive power screwdriver bit holders accepting slotted bits with an 8F-10R point size. Suitable for use with standard quick-change bit holders, power screwdrivers, and drill drivers equipped with a 1/4 inch hex chuck.

Installation Notes

Insert the 1/4 inch hex shank fully into the bit holder or quick-change chuck before applying load. Ensure the power tool is set to an appropriate torque clutch setting to avoid cam-out or fastener damage when working with slotted-head screws. Inspect the bit tip for wear or rounding before each use, as a damaged tip increases the risk of cam-out and workpiece marring. Replacement should be performed when blade thickness or tip geometry shows visible wear.
