Apex® has maintained a position of leadership in industrial fastening tools. Today, Apex® stands ready to improve the productivity of assembly operations around the world with unsurpassed tool performance and customer service.

Highest quality
Apex® quality begins with select raw materials. Only carefully chosen, high grade tool steel is used to make Apex® industrial fastener tools. Each tool is precision machined from solid bar stock to close-tolerance standards. You always get an exact, sure fit-a fit not possible from tools made in a process that grows less precise with every stamp. Finally, each tool is tempered with the exclusive Apex heat treating process that lets you select the degree of hardness you require. Choose from tough, non-brittle durability that stands up to torque, to the hardest heat treat available for the ultimate in wear resistance.

The tool you need, when you need it
The most popular catalog items are available off-the-shelf for immediate delivery.

Complete support for your requirements
Apex provides the broadest selection of fastener tools in the world. From this catalog you can choose from over 5,000 individual items: from bits, sockets and hand drivers to universal wrenches, extensions and adapters. If the tool you need is not in our catalog, call your Apex representative. We may have what you need as a non-catalog item-or our experienced staff of tooling experts can design and produce application specific fastener tools to suit your needs.
