Wera 05056176001 Slotted Power Screwdriver Bit 1/4 in

Product Description

The WERA 05056176001 is a slotted power screwdriver bit designed for use with power drivers and impact-rated screwdriving equipment. Built to the Bi-Torsion design standard, this bit absorbs torsional shock during high-torque driving applications, reducing tip breakage and extending service life. The 1/4 inch blade width and 0.042 inch blade thickness are sized for No. 8F to No. 10R slotted fasteners. Overall length is 1 inch. At 0.1 pounds, it is a compact insert bit suited for repetitive production or service work where bit durability under power is critical.

This bit is intended for use in power screwdrivers, electric drills with bit holders, and impact-rated drivers equipped with a 1/4 inch hex drive chuck. Typical applications include assembly work, electrical panel work, and HVAC equipment service where slotted fasteners are encountered. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service environments. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance tradespeople commonly use this bit type when driving or removing slotted sheet metal and machine screws in the No. 8 to No. 10 size range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by inserting the hex shank into a 1/4 inch hex bit holder or quick-change chuck - ensure the holder is fully seated before operating. Always match the blade width and thickness to the fastener slot to prevent cam-out and fastener damage. When used with impact drivers, confirm the bit is rated for impact or torsion-absorbing use before driving. Inspect the tip for wear or deformation before each use and replace if tip geometry is compromised.
