Applications

The EP24 Inverted Star (also known as E-Torx or External Star) socket is specifically designed for elliptical-shaped external fasteners found on various vehicle applications where standard Torx or Ribe designs may not fit correctly. It is commonly used in automotive and industrial settings. This particular EP24 size is frequently utilized for tasks such as loosening and tightening Ford Super-Duty truck bed bolts and addressing other low-profile fasteners, including those on 2017 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks. Additionally, external Torx fasteners are prevalent in hydraulic systems and on many German automobiles.
