Apex QR-M-490-A Magnetic Bit Holder

The Apex QR-M-490-A is a magnetic bit holder designed for 1/4 inch hex drive and shank applications. It suits technicians and DIY users who need secure bit retention during fastening tasks. A screw cap and retaining ring keep bits safely stored and locked in place. Durable steel construction supports repeated use on job sites.

Practical limits of 1/4 hex interface

The 1/4 inch hex shank fits standard power drills and impact drivers with matching chucks. Magnetic retention holds bits firmly but may release under extreme torque or vibration. The 2 15/16 inch overall length limits access in very tight cavities. Steel construction resists wear but adds weight compared to lighter alloys.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify your driver accepts 1/4 inch hex shanks before purchase. Confirm the 2 15/16 inch length clears your workpiece and tool geometry. Ensure magnetic retention meets your torque requirements for the fasteners used. The screw cap and retaining ring require manual operation to swap bits.
