TORX 10 bit 89 mm: 867/4 Z SB

The designation TORX 10 refers to the size of the star profile, and the 89 mm to the total length of the bit. Both details must match the screw and the situation you are working in. A bit that does not fit the profile well can damage the screw head and wear out quickly itself.

What does TORX 10 mean and when do you choose this profile?

With TORX, the screw head has a six-lobed star profile in which the bit grips firmly. This makes it less likely that the bit slips out of the screw or damages the head. The number indicates the size: TORX 10 is used for a relatively small screw head. Always check which size the screw or device requires, because a bit that is slightly too large or too small does not give a good fit.

Advantages of a long bit of 89 mm

With a length of 89 mm you can reach deeper into a construction or through a thick cover plate, without your machine or bit holder getting in the way. This is handy for work on furniture, cabinets, machines or built-in situations where the screw is countersunk. For ordinary screwing in an open place, a shorter bit is often more practical and stable, because a longer bit can bend or wobble more.

Use and maintenance of your bits

When screwing with a machine, choose a bit intended for that use and place the bit straight on the screw before applying pressure. Use sufficient downward force so the bit does not slip out of the profile. It is better to replace a bit with visibly worn or rounded tips, as this prevents damaged screw heads and unnecessary delays on the job.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between TORX and a Phillips bit?

TORX has a six-lobed star profile that engages more deeply in the screw head, a Phillips head has four slots in the shape of a cross. The profiles are not interchangeable.

Does this bit fit a standard bit holder?

Check the connection and the specifications of your bit holder or machine. The bit itself has a length of 89 mm and a TORX 10 tip.

When do I choose a long bit instead of a short one?

Choose a long bit if the screw sits deep or is difficult to reach. For open spots, a shorter bit is usually more stable.
