Carlyle 1/4 Drive TP30H Tamper Proof 5 Star/Torx (CS14TP30H)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CS14TP30H

A TP30H tamper-proof bit on a 1/4 inch drive socket, made from chrome vanadium alloy steel and listed as a 5 Star/Torx security type. The tip is bored to clear the centre pin of pinned screws. It is the largest of the 1/4 inch TP..H bits in this run.

Good to know

• Is 1/4 inch drive strong enough for TP30H? For fitting and moderate loosening, yes. For a tight, rusted screw, take the strain gently; a 1/4 inch drive is made for small fasteners, not heavy breaking-out work.
• How do I confirm the pattern? Count the points on the screw head and check for a pin. This bit is listed as a 5 star tamper type, which will not suit a six-point head.
• What if the pin has broken off? The hole-tip bit will still drive the screw, since it turns a plain screw of the same shape and size.

Which one?

For a case of these security bits, the Carlyle 11 Piece 5 Star Plus Tamper Proof Socket Set TP8H – TP55H (CBSTTP11) covers TP8H to TP55H. For bigger screws, the 3/8 inch drive TP40H, TP45H, TP50H and TP55H bits in our range take more torque.
