Cons

They do their job

These sockets appear to be durable and should stand up to everyday use in the shop. I would buy them again if they fall out.

Pros
  • a handy item
Cons
  • updates

Fits 2021 Corvette. Screws

Bought these to remove external Torx Plus screws on a 2021 Corvette and they worked great. The Corvette uses low-profile external Torx Plus screws, and the bevel on the side of these sockets allows for secure installation and removal without hassle.

Pros
  • Standard Torx sockets will not fit Torx Plus fasteners.
Cons
  • Some small things

works great with sockets and socket sets

Use them on Honda connecting rod bolts to recall piston rings (R series engines). Most of the guys in the shop used a standard external torx. Plucking heads like no other that weren't the right tool for the job, these grips are perfect. Just like Lisle products, always strong, always available and just working.

Pros
  • Nine of the most popular Torx Plus socket sizes for automotive applications.
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Yes, that's what you need.

If you're a professional technician like me, you work on a car one day only to find out that the manufacturer, unbeknownst to you, has decided to use newfangled fasteners for no good reason that gets you in trouble. It's 10am, you're pulling the gears on a 2020 Explorer, you stop squeaking because you find this amazing looking bolt. You go to your toolbox and pull out an upside down torx. no, that won't fit. So now you wait 4 hours for the guy's picture to appear. He's got the outlet you need…

Pros
  • Torx Plus exterior parts are used in the body panels of new Ford trucks with aluminum bodies and seats on GM trucks.
Cons
  • Long Lead Time
