Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. S14TP8

The Carlyle S14TP8 is a tiny TP8 Star Plus bit on a 1/4in drive socket, for very small Star Plus screws where a screwdriver would be slow or awkward. Small heads strip easily, so a bit with the right squarer lobe shape matters. The bit is S2 steel; the socket is mirror-polished chrome vanadium.

Good to know

How much force for a TP8? Very little. Use a small spinner handle or 1/4in ratchet with a light grip; small screws snap or strip if leaned on hard.
Will a T8 star bit do? Not properly; Star Plus heads have squarer lobes, so a standard star bit can slip and chew such a small head.
How do I keep it seated? Hold the socket square to the screw and press lightly in while turning, so the bit can't tilt out.

Which one?

The next size up is the TP10 (S14TP10); for TP8 security screws with a centre pin, the Carlyle 1/4DR TS8H 5 Star Tamper Proof Size TP8H (CS14TP8H). A full set is the Carlyle 12 Piece Star Plus Socket Set TP8 – TP60 (CBSTP12).
