Carlyle 1/4 Drive T27H Tamper Torx (CS14T27H)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CS14T27H

The CS14T27H is a T27 tamper-proof star bit on a 1/4 inch drive socket. A hole bored into its tip clears the centre pin of security star screws, the kind fitted to stop casual removal of covers and fittings. The bit is S2 steel and the socket is chrome-plated.

Good to know

• How do I tell a tamper screw from a normal one? Look into the head with a torch: a security star screw has a small pin standing up in the middle, and a plain T27 bit will not pass it.
• Will this turn an ordinary T27 screw as well? Yes. The hole in the tip does not stop it driving a plain star screw of the same size, so one bit covers both kinds.
• What if the head is packed with dirt or rust? Pick it clean with a scriber first, then check the bit goes fully down before you turn; a half-seated bit can round the lobes.

Which one?

For a spread of security sizes, the Carlyle 13 Piece Star Tamper Proof Socket Set T7H – T60H (CBSTH13) runs from T7H to T60H in one set. For screws with no pin, the solid-tip CS14T27 does the same size.
