Where to buy torx set

Post by finnie » Fri Jun 17, 2011 10:12 am

Hi guys

I am trying to take my armrest apart to check my Bluetooth connections but my torx set is too fat. It's an interchangeable set.

My local suppliers have non small enough. Can anyone recommend a good set for me. When I search all sets seem to start at t10!

Thanks

Finnie

Try Maplin or Halfords. I have sets from both that fit, although admittedly the Halfords bits are part of their biggest pro socket/spanner set.

I was just about to post the same question - so you guys answered two users in one. Cheers.
About to embark on fitting a Westfalia towbar so I need to invest in a decent Torx set.
Last towbar I fitted was on my 2CV back in 1989. 18mm socket and big hammer.
