Product Information

Full details

This 7-piece extra-long tamper star Torx screwdriver set from US PRO INDUSTRIAL Tools is designed for professionals and serious DIYers working with Torx® fasteners that have a security pin. Its key benefit is providing extended reach and superior grip for difficult-to-access or overtightened fasteners, manufactured from S2 hardened steel for maximum durability.

FAQs

What is the main difference between standard Torx and Tamper Torx screwdrivers?

Tamper Torx (Torx Security, Torx TR) screwdrivers have a small pin in the center of the tip that engages with a corresponding hole in the center of the Tamper Torx fastener. Standard Torx fasteners do not have this central pin.

What material are these screwdrivers made from?

They are manufactured from S2 hardened steel, known for its exceptional strength and durability, making them suitable for demanding applications.

Can I use these on standard Torx screws?

While the shape might partially fit, it's not recommended. Using a tamper Torx screwdriver on a standard Torx screw can lead to poor engagement and potential damage to both the screw and the tool.

What are the specific lengths of the screwdrivers?

The blade length for all sizes is 390mm. Overall lengths vary: T10 is 465mm, T15-T27 are 490mm, and T30-T40 are 500mm.

How do I clean and maintain the screwdrivers?

Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store them in a dry location, preferably organized to protect the tips from damage.

Are these screwdrivers magnetic?

The product description does not specify if the tips are magnetic. However, S2 steel often has magnetic properties, which can be helpful for holding screws.

What is the benefit of the extra-long design?

The extra length provides greater reach, allowing you to access screws in recessed areas or tight spaces where standard screwdrivers cannot fit comfortably or effectively.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver slips out of the fastener head.

Ensure you are using the correct size screwdriver for the fastener. Check that the fastener head and screwdriver tip are clean and free of debris. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly into the fastener head.

Difficulty engaging the screwdriver with the fastener.

Confirm the fastener is a tamper Torx® type with a central pin. Ensure the tip is fully seated within the star recess of the fastener.

Screwdriver tip appears damaged or worn.

Inspect the tip for any bending, chipping, or rounding. Continued use with a damaged tip can strip the fastener. Discontinue use and consider replacing the screwdriver.

Not enough reach to access the fastener.

This set is designed for extended reach. If still insufficient, consider specialized angled extensions or adapters if space permits, or reassess the work area for alternative access points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable S2 hardened steel for longevity.
  • Extra-long blades provide excellent reach for difficult access.
  • Ergonomic handles with cushion grips offer comfort and prevent slippage.
  • Precision tips ensure a secure fit and reduce fastener damage.
  • Includes a versatile range of common tamper Torx sizes.

Cons

  • Extra length may not be suitable for extremely tight working environments.
  • The tri-color handle design, while ergonomic, might not appeal to all users aesthetically.
  • Only includes tamper-resistant Torx sizes; standard Torx sizes are not present.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required. These are manual screwdrivers ready for immediate use.

Compatibility: This set is designed for tamper-resistant Torx® (also known as Torx Security or Torx TR) fasteners. Ensure the fastener has a central pin for these screwdrivers to engage correctly. The sizes included are T10, T15, T20, T25, T27, T30, and T40.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades and tips clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents.
  2. Storage: Store the screwdrivers in a clean, dry place, ideally in a tool roll, organizer, or their original packaging to protect the tips and prevent loss.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the tips for any signs of wear or damage. If a tip becomes deformed, it may not engage properly and should be replaced to prevent damaging fasteners.
