Carlyle 1/4 Drive T27 Torx Bit (CS14T27)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CS14T27

A single T27 star bit held in a 1/4 inch square drive socket, so it runs on a 1/4 inch ratchet, extension bar or small torque wrench. The tip is S2 steel and the socket body is polished chrome, a handy size for the small star screws a light ratchet copes with easily.

Good to know

• Is T27 really the size I need? Push the bit into the screw before you turn anything: it should drop in to full depth with no rocking. T27 sits between T25 and T30, so a near miss is easy to make by eye.
• Can it go on an impact driver? No. This is a chrome hand-tool socket, and chrome can crack on an impact gun, so keep it to a ratchet or a hand torque wrench.
• Will it undo a star screw with a pin in the middle? No, the tip is solid. Pinned screws need the T27H tamper version, which has a hole bored in the tip.

Which one?

For a run of sizes in one case, the Carlyle 13 Piece Torx Socket Set T8 – T60 (CBST13) covers T8 to T60. If the screw has a pin in its centre, the tamper CS14T27H is the T27 to choose.
