10 Piece E-Torx Socket Set 1/4 and 3/8 Inch Drive

The Teng Tools M3814 is a 10 piece set of TX-E sockets on 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch drive, supplied on a clip rail with socket clips. TX-E is the external version of the Torx profile: the socket fits over a star-shaped head, and Teng Tools designs these sockets for use with protruding TX head screws.

In the workshop they are also called E-Torx, inverted Torx or star sockets. The 1/4 inch drive sockets are E4, E5, E6, E7 and E8, for the smaller heads. The 3/8 inch drive sockets are E10, E12, E14, E16 and E18, for the larger ones. Together they run from E4 to E18 on one rail.

The sockets are chrome vanadium. Each has a retention groove for the ball detent, which secures the connection of the socket to the drive end so it stays on the ratchet while you work.

The clip rail keeps every size in its own position for easy storage as a set, so a missing socket shows at a glance and the set moves from drawer to bench or tool cart as one unit. The complete set weighs 260 g (9.2 oz).

What you get: 10 TX-E sockets on a clip rail with socket clips (E4, E5, E6, E7 and E8 on 1/4 inch drive; E10, E12, E14, E16 and E18 on 3/8 inch drive). Ratchets, handles and extensions are not included.

• TX-E is the external form of Torx, so each socket fits over the star-shaped head of a fastener instead of into it. Teng Tools designs these for use with protruding TX head screws. Mechanics also know this kind of set as inverted, reverse or female Torx sockets, and each one is a female star socket, also sold as an external star socket.
• The 1/4 inch drive half of the set covers E4, E5, E6, E7 and E8, the smaller external Torx heads. It includes the E8 external Torx socket, so the 1/4 drive Torx sizes from E4 up to E8 are all in one place. They fit standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets and handles, which are not included with the socket set.
• The 3/8 inch drive half covers E10, E12, E14, E16 and E18, for the larger external Torx heads. Having the 3/8 drive Torx sockets in the same set as the 1/4 drive sizes means one rail covers E4 through E18, and you pick the drive that suits the head and the handle already in your hand. Ratchet not included.
• The set is supplied on a clip rail with socket clips for easy storage as a set. Every socket has its own clip, so an empty one shows straight away which size has not come back from the job, and the whole star socket set lifts out of a drawer or off a tool cart in one go. The set weighs 260 g (9.2 oz) complete.
• The sockets are made from chrome vanadium. A retention groove for the ball detent secures the connection of each E-Torx socket to the drive end, so it stays on the ratchet while you reach in, turn the fastener and pull back out. Ratchets, handles and extensions are not included: this is the ten sockets and the rail.
