Apex UG-835 Bit Holder Application

This Apex bit holder is designed for use with power tools in fastening tasks. It accepts a 5/16 inch drive and features a 3/8 inch hex shank with a square shank style. The overall bit length measures 1 1/2 inches and the tool is constructed from steel. It uses a retaining ring for bit retention and is nonmagnetic. This holder is not impact rated.

Upgrading from Basic Holders

This model replaces standard bit holders that lack a retaining ring or have a shorter length. The upgrade is worth it when a secure, nonmagnetic grip on bits is required for precision driving. It suits users moving from magnetic holders that can interfere with sensitive fasteners. The steel construction offers durability for repeated use in workshop environments.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your power tool accepts a 5/16 inch drive size before purchasing. Ensure the 3/8 inch hex shank with square style fits your chuck or adapter. Confirm that a nonmagnetic, non-impact-rated holder matches the demands of your specific fastening application. Check that the 1 1/2 inch overall length provides adequate reach for your workpieces.

Questions about this item

Will the 5/16 in drive and 3/8 in hex shank fit my impact driver chuck?

The holder uses a 5/16 in drive size with a 3/8 in hex shank and square shank style, so it fits chucks that accept those dimensions.

How do I seat the bit so the retaining ring actually holds it?

Push the bit fully into the hex opening until the retaining ring snaps into the bit groove; a partial insert is the common mistake that lets the bit fall out.

When should I replace the retaining ring on this non-magnetic holder?

Replace the ring once it no longer grips the bit groove securely or shows visible deformation, since the holder relies solely on that ring for retention.
