Wera 05056172001 Slotted Power Screwdriver Bit 1/4 Hex

Product Description

The WERA 05056172001 is a slotted power screwdriver bit designed for use with 1/4 inch hex-drive power tools and impact drivers. Built to the Bi-Torsion standard, the bit incorporates a torsion zone that absorbs peak torque loads, reducing breakage during high-cycle power driving. The blade width measures 0.216 inches with a blade thickness of 0.031 inches, sized for screw range 3F to 4R slotted fasteners. Overall length is 1 inch. Weighing 0.1 pounds, it is a single-piece bit suited for production assembly, maintenance tasks, and service work where slotted fasteners are encountered.

This bit is used wherever a 1/4 inch hex drive power tool is paired with slotted fasteners in light commercial or residential service applications. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals will encounter this drive style on terminal screws, junction box hardware, and panel components. The 1 inch OAL is optimized for standard bit holders and quick-change chucks. It is sold as a single piece, making it a direct replacement or add-on for existing bit sets.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools beyond the 1/4 inch hex drive tool accepting this bit. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the driver chuck before applying torque to prevent cam-out and fastener damage. For power driving applications, use the lowest torque setting that still drives the fastener fully to preserve bit life. Inspect the slotted tip for wear before each use, as a worn tip increases the risk of cam-out on slotted terminal screws.
