Screwdriver for Bits STANLEY FatMax 1/4" 125 mm (model 65-490)

The STANLEY FatMax screwdriver for 1/4" bits with a 125 mm shaft (model 65-490) is a manual tool designed to accept standard 1/4" hex bits. Its straight, robust shaft and secure bit holder make it suitable for controlled manual torque applications in assembly, repair and maintenance. The tool is intended for use where compatibility with a variety of screwdriver and drill bits is needed and where a longer reach is beneficial.

Advantages

The screwdriver features a comfortable handle profile and a solid blade-to-handle connection that helps transfer torque reliably to the bit. Its 125 mm shaft provides extended reach compared with stubby drivers, while the 1/4" hex receptacle ensures compatibility with common driver and drill bits. The tool's construction is geared toward consistent manual control and reduced bit wobble during use.

Suitable for

• Manual assembly of furniture and fixtures where 1/4" bits are used
• Light mechanical repairs and maintenance tasks in workshops
• On-site installation work requiring access into recessed or narrow spaces
• DIY projects that need a reliable bit-holding screwdriver with extended reach

Key specifications

• Bit interface: 1/4" hex socket compatible with standard hex bits
• Shaft length: 125 mm for extended reach
• Tool type: manual screwdriver for insertable bits
• Handle: ergonomically shaped for controlled torque transfer
• Intended use environments: workshop, construction sites, home DIY

How to use

Insert a compatible 1/4" hex bit firmly into the screwdriver's bit holder until it seats securely. Position the bit tip in the fastener head, apply steady axial pressure and turn the handle in the required direction to tighten or loosen. Use controlled manual force appropriate for the fastener and bit type to avoid stripping heads. For repetitive tasks consider using the screwdriver for precise manual finishing or when power tools are not practical.

Usage recommendations

Use bits that match the fastener profile and are in good condition to ensure a secure fit and minimize wear. When working in tight or recessed areas, the 125 mm shaft provides additional reach; support the shaft close to the handle if greater control is needed. Store the screwdriver and bits dry to prevent corrosion and periodically inspect the bit socket for wear.
