Troubleshooting

Key does not fit Torx fastener.

Ensure you are using the correct Torx size for the fastener. Verify if the fastener is standard Torx or tamper Torx, and confirm your key is compatible.

Key feels loose in the fastener (cam-out).

Confirm you have the correct size key fully seated in the fastener. Apply steady, direct pressure to keep the key engaged while turning. Ensure the fastener head and key tip are clean and free from debris.

Key shows signs of bending or wear.

Discontinue use of the affected key immediately to prevent further damage or fastener stripping. Contact the manufacturer or retailer if the tool is under warranty.

Keys are difficult to identify by colour.

Refer to the size markings on the included tool holder. Clean the keys if the colour coating is obscured by dirt.
