33 Piece Security Bit Set Tamper Proof Torx Hex Star Screwdriver

Product Information

The main purpose of the tamper-proof design is to restrict unauthorized access to equipment or devices, especially in places where tampering could be harmful or costly. Torx Ttap What is Ttap Torx?

So, a Polydrive bit can’t be used on a Torx screw, and vice versa. They do the same job, though, and their performance is comparable. Uses of Polydrive (RIBE) The metric system is more widely used in other countries. In the United States, the Imperial system is still used. It is based on the Roman Empire's system, which considered one foot to be the length of a human being. This means that the same tool in metric units won't fit an Imperial nut. Torx screws are commonly found on automobiles, motorcycles, bicycle brake systems ( disc brakes), hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics. Initially, they were sometimes used in applications requiring tamper resistance, since the drive systems and screwdrivers were not widely available; as drivers became more common, tamper-resistant variants, as described below, were developed. [4] Torx screws are also becoming increasingly popular in construction industries.

Archived from the original (PDF) on 2007-01-02. While it’s common to use the terms Torx and star interchangeably, there’s actually a bit of a difference between the two. 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). However, there is a difference beyond just licensing. The modified geometry improves durability and maximizes the torque available to the fastener. This increased torque allows the fastener to be fastened more securely without stripping the screw head. Sidewall Difference The Torx Plus, also known as the Internal Plus, is an improved version of the original design. This version is designed to provide better torque transfer than the original design. The lobes on the screw allow for increased torque without causing much wear on the tool.

The Torx Plus screw is ideal for high torque transfer and low head height applications. In short, applications where the screws must be tightly fastened but also fit in a small space. Another advantage is that the Ttap drive doesn’t wobble since the geometry stabilizes the drive. Torx Ttap vs. Torx screwsSome versions of the Polydrive systems have more lobes in the fastener heads, although this isn’t common. Torx vs. Polydrive (RIBE) Screws Torx and Torx Plus are similar fasteners, but Torx Plus optimizes the design of the original Torx. While both have a six-point connection with the drive head, the Torx fastener allows for a 15° drive angle, while the Torx Plus has a 0° drive angle. This increases the available torque and minimizes wear on the fastener and drive head.

Examples include vehicles, motorcycles, computer systems, bicycles, consumer electronics, and hard disc drives. Tamper Proof Torx What is Tamper Proof Torx?The Torx Ttap drive is compatible with the standard Torx drive. However, if you’d like the advantages the Torx Ttap offers, you have to use it with the Ttap drive. The geometries of these drives are exactly the same, except for the additional recess in the screw head’s center. Uses of Torx Ttap This article needs additional citations for verification.
