Applications

The TP10 Torx Plus size is commonly encountered across a range of automotive and industrial tasks. It is frequently used for applications such as GM transmission bell housing bolts, Ford seat belt anchors, and Ford pick-up bed bolts. Technicians may also find this size necessary for various components on European makes, including BMW brakes and transmissions, as well as specialized fasteners found on commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery. It is critical to note that Torx Plus drivers are specifically for Torx Plus fasteners and will not correctly fit standard Torx fasteners. Using standard Torx drivers on Torx Plus fasteners is not recommended due to a loose fit, which can lead to insufficient torque transfer and potential damage.
