Torx Plus Socket Set External EP Socket 19PCS - Works with Most Cars

Our review of the Torx Plus Socket Set finds it most useful for mechanics and DIYers who encounter modern vehicle fasteners that standard torx sockets cannot handle. The bottom line: this 19PCS external Torx Plus kit replaces standard torx tools and adds coverage for inverted torx plus bolts found on many late-model cars, including specific applications for Nissan, Honda, Ford and Tesla battery access. It ships neatly in a case with a pair of gloves and delivers the one thing technicians need most here - the correct fit to avoid slipping or stripping.

Key Features

• Comprehensive range: Nineteen EP sockets cover EP4 through EP32 across 1/4', 3/8' and 1/2' drives so a single kit solves a wide variety of fastener sizes.
• External Torx Plus profile: Designed for new-style external and inverted torx plus bolts so you can remove fasteners that standard torx sockets cannot engage.
• Impact-ready: Sockets are built to be used with an impact wrench or air tool to speed removal and installation on stubborn bolts.
• Vehicle compatibility examples: Includes sizes commonly used on Nissan head bolts, Honda motor mounts, Ford bed bolts and a special five-point EP8.8 for Tesla battery covers.
• Durable construction: Made from high-hardness, corrosion- and wear-resistant steel to withstand heavy use without breaking.
• Organized storage: Comes with a molded carrying case that keeps each socket and the included gloves neatly arranged for transport and storage.

Who It's For

This set is aimed at professional technicians, independent shops and serious home mechanics who work on late-model vehicles that adopt the Torx Plus fastener profile. Anyone who has encountered stripped or non-engaging fasteners with standard torx sockets will find this kit particularly helpful.

It is less suited to someone who only performs occasional light household repairs with standard hex or common torx bits, or users who need only a single size - in those cases a smaller, single-drive bit set may be a simpler, less costly choice.
