FAQs

What is the difference between E-Torx and standard Torx?

E-Torx (also known as Torx Plus or female Torx) has a slightly different star pattern designed for higher torque applications and is typically used on external male screws. Standard Torx is used on internal female sockets. This set is specifically for E-Torx fasteners.

Are these sockets suitable for standard Torx fasteners?

No, this set is designed exclusively for E-Torx fasteners. Using them on standard Torx fasteners may result in a poor fit and potential damage to the fastener or the socket.

What material are the sockets made from?

The product description indicates durable construction, typically meaning hardened steel alloys, though the specific material is not detailed.

How do I clean the sockets?

Clean them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or material.

What is included in the 12-piece set?

The set includes 12 E-Torx sockets of various sizes, all with a 3/8" drive and a height of 28mm, supplied in an EVA foam organizer.

Can I use these with an impact wrench?

While the sockets are durable, they are intended for use with hand tools like ratchets and torque wrenches. Impact use is not specified and may void warranty or cause damage.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit E-Torx fastener.

Verify that the fastener is indeed an E-Torx type and not a standard Torx. Ensure you are using the correct size E-Torx socket from the set.

Socket slips or cam-outs during use.

Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the fastener head. Apply steady, straight pressure. If the fastener is damaged, specialized extraction tools may be needed.

Socket does not fit securely on the drive tool.

Confirm you are using a 3/8" drive tool. Check the drive shank on the socket and the drive head on your tool for any debris or damage.
