TORX Plus Bit Sockets

Has anyone used the TORX Plus Bit Sockets as opposed to the regular bit sockets. The blurb on
the "Plus" sockets say, "TORXÂ® Plus pattern increases fastener contact to allow 25% more
torque on the fastener". Sounds good but I want to make sure they fit the fasteners on my bike.

Thanks.

RE: TORX Plus Bit Sockets

Do the TORX Plus Bits fit regular TORX fasteners, or do they only work on TORX Plus fasteners? It sounds interesting.

RE: TORX Plus Bit Sockets

Here's some info... http://www.textronfasteningsystems.c...ve_compare.htm

Looks interesting. But I'm sure I'd confuse them with regular Torx and strip them out too. Need to make them blaze orange or something so I don't confuse them.

Another interesting note - I never knew, albeit sounds logical, that philips and related fall into the cruciform fastener category.

RE: TORX Plus Bit Sockets

Cool link bensonjv. After reading this, I think I'll stick with the regular Torx.

RE: TORX Plus Bit Sockets

i thought i read on here (somewhere...) that HD uses Torx Plus on late model bikes? That's why we're strippin' them, with the regular torx
