Product Information

Full details

This Wiha PocketStar Multitool is for technicians and DIYers who need quick access to tamper-resistant Torx sizes. Its primary benefit is organizing seven common Torx security bit sizes into a compact, fold-out tool for increased efficiency on the go. A potential caveat is that it specifically targets tamper-resistant screws, so it may not be suitable for standard Torx fasteners.

FAQs

What Torx sizes are included in this multitool?

The Wiha PocketStar Multitool includes the following Torx Tamper Resistant (with security pin) sizes: T7, T8, T9, T10, T15, T20, and T25.

Can this tool be used for standard Torx screws?

This tool is specifically designed for TORX® Tamper Resistant screws that have a center pin. While the tip shape may fit into a standard Torx socket, it is not optimized for them and may not provide the best grip or prevent damage.

How do I select a specific Torx key?

Gently pull the desired Torx key out from the handle. The robust casing with an eject button facilitates easy and quick selection of the appropriate key.

What is the material of the blades and handle?

The blades are made of chrome-vanadium steel, which is through-hardened and electro-plated for durability. The handle housing is constructed from reinforced fiberglass.

How do I clean and maintain the multitool?

Wipe the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store it in a dry place and ensure all blades are fully retracted into the housing when not in use. Avoid harsh solvents.

What does the borehole in the blade tip mean?

The borehole in each blade tip is a design feature often included in tamper-resistant bits. It allows the tool to interface with the security pin found in the center of tamper-resistant screws.

Troubleshooting

Torx blade is difficult to select or eject.

Ensure the tool is clean and free of debris. Try gently wiggling the blade while pressing the eject button. If stiffness persists, a very small amount of light lubricating oil might help, but use sparingly.

Blade tip appears damaged or worn.

Inspect the blade tip for any signs of wear or damage. Due to the nature of the tool, individual blades are not replaceable. For significant damage affecting functionality, consider replacing the entire multitool.

Tool feels loose or wobbly.

Check that all blades are fully retracted into the housing. If the wobble is excessive even when a blade is deployed, it may indicate wear in the folding mechanism. Ensure the casing is securely closed.

Cons

  • Only includes tamper-resistant (security pin) Torx sizes.
  • May not be suitable for users who primarily work with standard Torx screws.
  • Limited number of pieces (7) may not cover all specialized needs.
  • The compact design might be less comfortable for very large hands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tool requires no setup. Simply unfold the desired Torx key from the handle. The eject button allows for easy selection of each size.

Compatibility: This multitool is specifically designed for TORX® Tamper Resistant (with security pin) screws in sizes T7, T8, T9, T10, T15, T20, and T25.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Storage: Store the tool in a dry environment. Ensure all blades are folded back into the housing to protect them from damage and prevent accidental injury.
  3. Lubrication: The folding mechanism may benefit from occasional light oiling if it becomes stiff, but this is generally not required with normal use.
