This guide is for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts working on specific vehicles that utilize Torx Plus fasteners, such as Tesla S bumper bolts. The key benefit is providing a specialized tool for efficient and secure fastener removal and installation, preventing damage to the fastener or surrounding components. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it's not a universal socket and is intended for specific Torx Plus sizes. The Laser Tools Torx Plus Socket 1/4"D 10EPR - 8229 features a unique 5-sided EPR profile, equivalent to OE tool 1059330-00-B, and is constructed from durable chrome vanadium steel for long-lasting strength and reliability.

Torx Plus (EPR) has a 5-sided profile with deeper lobes, providing increased torque transfer and reduced cam-out compared to standard 6-sided Torx fasteners. This socket is specifically for Torx Plus.
'10EPR' refers to the specific size and profile designation for this Torx Plus fastener, indicating it's designed to fit a Torx Plus head of that particular dimension and shape.
No, this socket is designed for Torx Plus EPR fasteners. Using it on standard Torx screws can damage both the fastener and the socket.
The 'OE equivalent' (OE 1059330-00-B) indicates that this socket matches the specifications and fit of the original equipment manufacturer's tool for certain applications, ensuring proper function.
Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Avoid harsh chemicals.
This socket is designed for a 1/4" drive system, so it can be used with 1/4" drive ratchets, extensions, or torque wrenches.
Ensure you are using the correct size (10EPR) and type (Torx Plus EPR) of fastener. Verify the fastener head is clean and free of debris. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener.
Check for any obstructions in the fastener recess. Ensure the socket's internal profile is clean. Try rotating the socket slightly while applying light pressure to help it seat correctly.
Inspect the socket for signs of wear or damage. If damage is present, discontinue use and replace the socket. Ensure you are not exceeding the torque limits of the socket or drive tool.
Setup: This is a hand tool and requires no setup beyond attaching it to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench.
Compatibility: The primary compatibility is with 1/4" drive tools. It is specifically designed for Torx Plus fasteners with the '10EPR' size and 5-sided EPR profile, equivalent to OE tool 1059330-00-B. It is not compatible with standard Torx (6-point) fasteners or other drive sizes.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
