FAQs

What sizes of Torx keys are included in this set?

The set includes 10 sizes: T6, T7, T8, T9, T10, T15, T20, T25, T27, and T30.

Are these keys suitable for standard Torx screws or security Torx screws?

This set features tamperproof Torx keys, designed specifically for security Torx screws which have a central pin. They may also work on some standard Torx screws if the pin hole is not present.

What material are the keys made from?

The keys are made from chrome vanadium steel, known for its strength and durability.

How compact is the set when folded?

The set has a total length of approximately 100mm and a width of 50mm when folded, designed for easy pocket or tool bag storage.

Can I use this set for high-torque applications?

While the chrome vanadium steel is strong, the short length and folding design may limit leverage for very high-torque applications. For such tasks, a longer, fixed Torx wrench might be more appropriate.

How should I clean and maintain the set?

Wipe with a dry cloth after use. For dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid excessive moisture.

What is the body of the set made from?

The body of the folding set is made from a blue aluminum alloy.

Troubleshooting

Key does not unfold or fold smoothly

Check for any debris obstructing the hinge. Gently clean the hinge area. If necessary, apply a small drop of light lubricating oil to the pivot point.

Torx tip appears worn or damaged

Inspect the tip for damage. If worn, it may no longer grip the screw head effectively. Consider replacing the set or using a different tool for that specific screw.

Set does not stay folded or unfolded

Ensure the key is fully opened or closed, as the mechanism relies on proper alignment. If the hinge is loose, it may require professional attention or replacement.
