A Torx bit is a type of screwdriver bit designed to fit into a Torx screw, which features a star-shaped socket with six points. This design allows for better grip and torque compared to traditional flat or Phillips screws, reducing the risk of stripping the screw head. Torx bits are commonly used in various applications, including automotive, electronics, and furniture assembly. Torx bits come in various sizes, identified by a number that indicates the size of the bit. They are often made from durable materials like steel to withstand wear and tear. Many tool sets include a range of Torx bits to accommodate different screw sizes.
