Torx Tools

Torx tools are a type of fastener that is used in a variety of applications, including automotive, industrial, and construction. They are characterized by their star-shaped head, which is designed to prevent the fastener from slipping when it is being tightened or loosened.

Torx tools are available in a variety of sizes, and each size is identified by a number. The number of points on the star-shaped head corresponds to the size of the tool. For example, a Torx T20 tool has 20 points on its head.
