Apex UG-855 Covered Bit Holder
The Apex UG-855 is a covered bit holder designed for power-tool fastening applications. It features a 5/16 inch drive size with a hex bit-holder drive type and a 1/2 inch hex shank. The square-style shank is made from steel and uses a retaining-ring bit retainer. The overall bit length measures 1-3/4 inches and the tool is nonmagnetic.
Suited for hex-bit power driving
This holder suits technicians who need a steel, nonmagnetic bit holder with a retaining ring for standard hex shanks. It is not impact rated, so it should not be used with impact drivers or high-torque impact applications. Buyers who require an impact-rated holder or a magnetic retainer for one-handed bit changes should look at alternative options.
Check drive and shank compatibility
Verify that your power tool accepts a 5/16 inch drive size before ordering. Confirm that the 1/2 inch hex shank with square style matches the bit holder socket or chuck you intend to use. Ensure the 1-3/4 inch overall length provides adequate reach for your specific fastening task.

Questions about this item
What drive size must my power tool have to accept the 5/16 in drive on this bit holder?
Your power tool needs a 5/16 in drive to match the bit holder's drive size for proper fit.
Will the 1/2 in square shank fit the older impact sockets I already own?
The 1/2 in square shank is a standard size that fits most 1/2 in drive sockets and accessories.
How can I confirm the retaining ring is holding the bit securely during use?
Pull firmly on the inserted bit; the retaining ring should keep it firmly seated without release.
