Apex TM-24 Hex to Threaded Adapter Bit 3/8-24 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The APEX TM-24 is a hex to threaded adapter power screwdriver bit designed to convert a standard 1/4 inch hex drive to a 3/8-24 threaded output. Built from alloy steel, it delivers the torsional strength needed for repetitive power-tool use in production and maintenance environments. The overall length of 2.25 inches provides clearance for most inline and pistol-grip power drivers. This type of adapter bit is commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades wherever threaded fastener attachments need to be driven with a power tool rather than by hand.

The TM-24 fits inline with standard 1/4 inch hex quick-change driver chucks found on cordless drills, impact drivers, and dedicated screwdriver tools. The 3/8-24 specialty point size makes it suited for applications requiring a fine-thread threaded interface at the output end. Typical use cases include assembly line fastening, panel work, equipment maintenance, and field service tasks where consistent torque application to threaded fittings or fasteners is required.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction for strength and durability under power-tool loads
• 1/4 inch hex shank fits standard quick-change driver chucks without adapters
• 3/8-24 threaded specialty point for fine-thread fastener engagement
• 2.25 inch overall length provides clearance in confined drive locations
• Single-piece unit — no assembly required out of the package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit adapter bit for use with 1/4 inch hex quick-change driver systems in power screwdriver and cordless drill applications requiring a 3/8-24 threaded output.

Installation Notes

Insert the 1/4 inch hex shank fully into the driver chuck before operating to ensure secure bit retention. Confirm the driver tool is set to the appropriate torque range for the fastener being driven before use. Inspect the alloy steel tip for wear or deformation before each use, as a damaged tip can strip threaded fasteners. No special tools or codes are required for bit installation beyond standard driver chuck engagement procedures.
