Wera 05057240001 Slotted Screwdriver Bit 1/2 in Blade

Product Description

The WERA 05057240001 is a slotted screwdriver bit designed for use with 5/16 inch hex drive tools. The blade measures 0.5 inches wide and 0.078 inches thick, with an overall length of 1.594 inches. This bit fits standard power drivers, impact-ready handles, and manual bit holders used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who need a reliable slotted drive solution for terminal screws, cover plates, and equipment fasteners. The non-reversible design keeps the bit seated in the driver without unintended repositioning during use.

This slotted bit is suited for light-duty fastening tasks on electrical panels, junction boxes, HVAC access covers, and plumbing fixture trim. It is compatible with any tool accepting a 5/16 inch hex shank. The compact overall length makes it practical in tight spaces where a full-length screwdriver cannot reach. Trade professionals keep this bit type in their driver kits for quick terminal work and cover-plate installation on residential and light commercial equipment.
