t-50 tork bit question

[manish]

Hey quick question. My t50 fork bit I got from autozone failed. Meaning the tips twisted. I have the black ones. Is there a better brand or material type to buy? I got one bolt off on my driver side rear hub, but I need to get the front lower bolt off and its not turning.

You might try buying a Craftsman one or something....

I know Craftsman isn't quite the high quality brand it used to be, but it's gonna be a lot cheaper than Snap-on or others, and if you break it you can get it replaced pretty easily.

BTW, you shouldn't be loosening up those bolts with the Torx side, you should be loosening it with the nut side (unless the whole bolt/nut is spinning...if so, that sucks). Unless the threads are all boogered up, the nut should come off fairly easily once loosened.

You need a TORX rated for an IMPACT GUN and dont shop autozone..

You only need the Torx bit to hold the bolt, loosen and tighten the nut.
