Just an FYI for anyone planning on working on their bronco with the Torx bolts on it.

They are Torx PLUS. Torx PLUS is not the same as Torx even though they are the same size.

Take off your beauty rings with a T45 Torx bit and you risk stripping them at worst and frustration with the bit "camming out" at best.

I talked to TWO different auto parts stores. The individuals I talked to had never heard of Torx PLUS and assured me that Torx bits would work fine.

$24 to me is a cheap investment to make sure you have the right tools for the job: https://smile.amazon.com/Neiko-10086A-Tp8-Steel-Socket/dp/B004UC9WJE/

Apologize if this posts belongs somewhere else but I feel like it should be more prominently displayed if it is somewhere else.

I haven't heard of Torx Plus...thanks. I Googled the difference and there is a significant difference between them.

the investment professional technicians make to service your cars is often overlooked. I had a few Torx Plus for specific jobs but it was time to bite the bullet. I got this set this week to prepare for upcoming Bronco jibs. Done right is the only way

yes there are vastly cheaper tooling options. Not here for that debate. You want your brain surgeon using the best scalpel or one that should be good enough?

There’s also E-Torx or External Torx. Not used for stuff anyone would normally be messing with but it’s becoming more commonplace.

Super common fasteners on euros.
the fun is when you get into Aluminum one time use stretch bolts

I mentioned this a month ago and seemed to cause confusion. But yeah, they don’t give you the correct tool to take your bolts off.

Thanks for heads up. Ordered.

Oh damn! $459 for a set of 11 bits! I don't buy cheap tools! But that's a little much! I think I might have to go to the place where the Surgeon in training get's his tools!

Corrected my mistake.
