Product Information
Full details
This Laser Tools Torx Plus Socket Bit Set is designed for automotive and mechanical professionals needing to access and tighten/loosen Torx Plus fasteners in confined or deep spaces.

FAQs
What is the difference between Torx Plus and standard Torx?
Torx Plus (TP) fasteners have a slightly different lobe profile and deeper engagement than standard Torx (T) fasteners, offering improved torque transfer and reduced cam-out. This set is specifically designed for Torx Plus.
Can I use these bits with a standard Torx fastener?
No, this set is designed exclusively for Torx Plus fasteners. Using them on standard Torx fasteners may result in a poor fit, damage to the fastener, or damage to the bit.
What material are the bits made from?
The bits are made from impact-grade S2 steel, known for its toughness and durability, especially when used with impact tools.
What material are the sockets made from?
The socket portions of the bits are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, a common and robust material for hand tools.
What sizes are included in the set?
The set includes Torx Plus sizes TP40, TP45, TP50, TP55, and TP60.
What is the length of the socket bits?
Each socket bit in the set is 120mm long.
How is the set organized for storage?
The set comes in a fitted EVA foam tray, designed for organized storage and easy identification of each bit. The tray dimensions are 30 x 150 x 164mm.
Troubleshooting
Bit does not fit Torx Plus fastener securely.
Ensure you are using the correct size Torx Plus bit (e.g., TP40 for a TP40 fastener) and that it is fully inserted into the fastener head. Verify the fastener is indeed Torx Plus and not standard Torx.
Bit camming out or slipping during use.
Check that the bit is fully seated and that the fastener head is not stripped or damaged. Apply steady, direct pressure while turning. Ensure the tool being used has a snug fit with the bit.
Tool feels loose on the bit.
Verify you are using a 1/2" drive tool. Check the drive socket on the bit for damage or debris. Ensure the drive on your tool is in good condition.
