    Image of Product. Front orientation. Torque-Limiting Keys. Torque-Limiting Key Sets, T-Handle.

    L-Key

    T-Handle

    The assorted keys in these sets have a small handle that prevents you from generating too much torque when turning a fastener. They are often used to install carbide inserts in cutting tools.
    T-Handle—These keys have a wider handle than L-keys, so they're easier to grip.
    Black-Oxide Steel—The coating offers minimal corrosion resistance, so these keys are best for dry environments.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These keys resist rust in most wet and outdoor applications, however, they won't hold up to salt water and chemicals.

    Torx Plus Bit Sets

    Quick-Change Hex

    Shank

    With larger lobes, the bits in these sets deliver more torque than Torx bits without slipping and stripping the drive. They have a similar profile to Torx but are not recommended for use with standard Torx screws.
    Quick-Change Hex Shank—Lock these bits directly into power tools. They won't wobble as much as bits paired with an adapter, so they are the best choice for high-precision tasks.
    Steel—Best for dry environments, since moisture will cause these bits to rust.

    Screwdrivers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Screwdrivers.
    A staple in any toolbox, these are your go-to screwdrivers for routine maintenance and repair. The handle is made from a combination of soft, grippy plastic for high torque and smooth, hard plastic for quick grip adjustments and high-speed turning. It's also contoured to maximize comfort and minimize hand strain, fatigue, and blisters, even with extended use.
    Premium—The best screwdrivers available, with tips machined to tight tolerances for the tightest possible fit in fastener recesses. The snug fit means they'll turn screws quickly without wearing screw heads and the driver's tip.
    Standard Length—The most common screwdriver length for a specific drive size.

    Drives

    Drive Torx Plus fasteners with a ratchet or torque wrench. Modified lobes increase the contact area between the bit and fastener compared to standard Torx, reducing cam-out and rounding. Well suited for high-torque applications and repeated use on the same fasteners. Replacement bits are available separately, so you can restore a worn socket without replacing the entire assembly.
