Wera 05160983001 Phillips Insert Bit 4 Point 1/4 in

Product Description

The WERA 05160983001 is a Phillips insert bit designed for use with power tools and impact drivers equipped with a 1/4 inch hex drive. Built to a 4 Point Phillips profile and measuring 2 inches in overall length, this bit is manufactured to an extra hard specification for extended service life under high-torque power tool applications. At 0.033 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight bit suited for repetitive fastening tasks. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors rely on insert bits like this one for panel assembly, equipment installation, and fixture work where speed and bit retention matter.

This insert bit is appropriate for any application requiring a 1/4 inch hex drive power bit in a standard 2 inch length. The 4 Point Phillips tip engages fasteners commonly found in electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture hardware, and light commercial construction assemblies. The extra hard construction makes it well suited for use in impact drivers and bit holders where conventional bits tend to cam out or wear prematurely. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 1/4 inch hex quick-change bit holders and power screwdriver chucks.

Key Features

• 4 Point Phillips profile for engagement with standard Phillips fasteners
• 1/4 inch hex drive shank fits standard quick-change bit holders and power drivers
• 2 inch overall length suits most inline and pistol-grip power screwdrivers
• Extra hard design extends bit life under power tool and impact driver torque loads
• Lightweight at 0.033 pounds, minimizing tool head imbalance during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch hex drive insert bit compatible with power screwdrivers, impact drivers, and bit extension holders accepting the 1/4 inch hex shank format.

Installation Notes

Insert the bit fully into a 1/4 inch hex quick-change holder or chuck before operating the tool. Confirm the bit is seated and locked before applying torque to avoid cam-out or bit ejection. Inspect the Phillips tip for wear or rounding before each use, as a worn tip increases the risk of fastener damage. No special tools or codes are required for bit changes, but always follow the power tool manufacturer guidelines for maximum torque settings.
