T55 x 55mm 1/2" Drive Torx Star Socket Male T-Star Cr-V Steel AU638

Product Information

Socket bits and socket accessories offer increased versatility without the need for the user to purchase new and more expensive tools, making such accessories a cost-effective solution when requiring tools that need to be used on various applications. The generic name for such screw and drives is Star while the popular name Torx is a trademark of Camcar Textron. It is a process where the screwdriver driver slips out of the screwhead if the torque exceeds a limit. The short design of the torx bit ensures it will fit securely inside the screw head, whilst enhancing the grip and torque, allowing you to work quickly with ease and precision. RS PRO 1/2" torx socket bits are available in a variety of sizes and make an excellent addition to any socket set, ideal for applications requiring screws with a torx head to be tightened and loosened by hand.

Both types of screws have similar characteristics, but you'll want to use the type that best matches your needs. While it’s common to use the terms Torx and star interchangeably, there’s actually a bit of a difference between the two. The sockets also feature a mirror chrome finish offering a stylish and professional aesthetic whilst offering excellent corrosion resistance properties.

Should a Halfords Advanced hand tool fail while being used for the purpose and in the manner for which it was designed, it will be inspected and replaced.

Without doubt, Torx plus provides valuable improvements that help ensure that production lines run smoothly and efficiently while delivering tangible savings.

  Much like the Allen wrench, Torx is a trademarked name and refers to a specific brand, whereas star is the generic name (much like hex keys). Your credit rating may be affected which will make it more difficult or more expensive for you to obtain credit in the future.
  
  For fixing applications they have been designed to prevent cam out and achieving the same result in regards to damage. Key failings with the slotted drive system include tool misalignment due to the slot head being open at both ends.
