Carlyle 8 Piece Short Folding Torx Key Set (CTKFS8)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CTKFS8

The Carlyle CTKFS8 is a set of 8 short Torx (star) keys that fold into one plastic and rubber handle, like a penknife. The keys are chrome vanadium with a black phosphate finish, and the colour-coded handle keeps them together in a glovebox or toolbag, ready for star screws on trim, lights and seats.

Good to know

• Which Torx sizes are in it? The listing doesn't give the sizes, so check them against the fasteners on your job; T sizes must match exactly, as a near size slips and rounds the head.
• Will it undo a Torx with a pin in the middle? No; tamper-proof star screws have a centre pin and need a hole-tipped security key, and external E-Torx heads need a socket.
• How do I avoid chewing the screw? Push the key fully into the head before turning, and lock the chosen key open so it can't fold under load.

Which one?

For a full spread of loose keys, the Carlyle 13 Piece Short Torx Key Set T7-T55 (CTKSS13) covers T7 to T55; for star screws deep in a recess, the Carlyle 9 Piece Magnetic Torx Key Set T10-T50 (CTKMS9) holds the screw on the key.
