FAQs

What does TX-STAR® mean?

TX-STAR® is a patented design by Draper Tools that enhances torque transmission and reduces wear compared to standard Torx designs. It is compatible with Torx systems.

What size Torx fastener does this bit fit?

This bit is specifically designed for T30 Torx fasteners.

Can I use this bit with any drill?

Yes, provided the drill has a chuck or holder that accepts a 1/4" hex shank. For best results and safety, use with appropriate torque settings on power tools.

Is this bit suitable for impact drivers?

Yes, its hardened construction makes it suitable for use with impact drivers, especially due to the TX-STAR design's resistance to cam-out.

What is the length of this bit?

The length of this insert bit is 75 mm.

How many bits are included in this pack?

This product is supplied as a pack of 2 bits.

What material is the bit made from?

The bit is made from chrome vanadium steel, which is hardened and tempered for durability.

Troubleshooting

Bit not gripping the screw head properly

Ensure you are using the correct T30 size bit and that the fastener is indeed a Torx/TX-STAR type. Check for any damage or debris on both the bit tip and the screw head.

Bit appears to be stripping the screw head

Verify that the bit is fully seated in the screw recess. Reduce torque if using a power tool, or ensure consistent downward pressure. Check for fastener damage or excessive wear.

Difficulty inserting bit into tool holder

Confirm the tool holder has a 1/4" hex receptacle. Ensure no debris is present in the holder and that the bit's shank is clean and undamaged.
