Product Information

It comes in a foam-lined hard plastic case, something we found tough to actually get the tool out of. However, it does keep it safe and all the bits together.

It’s comfortable to use, but the hollow plastic construction certainly feels cheap and can lead to clearance issues in rare cases. The developed ball point and star wrench can be inserted and rotated at a 20-degree angle into a star-type bolt

For the Torx type of design, the angle is much closer to 90° than in the case of the hex head, and so for a given torque the potentially damaging radial force is much lower. This property allows the head of the fastener to be smaller for the same required torque, which can be an advantage in applications where space to accommodate the head is limited. a b "TORX Drive System" (PDF).
