Talk torx bits.

[BigMike]

Seems more and more gun fastners are moving to torx fastners and I keep running into bad fitting bits. I've been using wiha now for about 2 years with no issues but I've run into something on a part that does not look like a standard torx. See the bit vs the fastner. The points on the fastber are much wider than the points on the bit. What is this, some safety fastner or something?

Looks like a torx plus. They are very hard to strip out and are easier to torque down and remove than standard torx.

Torx plus.

I’ll second your recommendation for Wiha. Some of the best out there

I used to not know there was a Torx Plus, till I stripped out a few fasteners on a Subaru head. The right tool made ALL the difference.
