Torx sockets
Morning all,
I need some Torx bolts to carry on with an engine strip - can you advise on what's a good range to go for ? Both the male and female
connection types ?
Engine is a 92 Ford Zetec 1.8
thanks
Paul

25-55 is the norm.zetec is 55, for the haed bolts .you rarely need 60s and 70's.up to you what drive you buy,3/4 prpb but depends what torque
wrench you have.

Will go with Halfords every time, keep your reciept though for the guarantee. They are made by a company called Teng, who make some of the best tools
in the world, they even make them for snap on.

Hi Marc,
I've heard this too (about the Halford/Teng thing rather than the Snap-on Teng thing) I was wondering if you'd seen it documented
anywhere?
I'd love to know if the Halfords stuff I've been buying alongside Teng actually *is* Teng or is it just a cunning rumour Halfords have
spread? 
Cheers,
James
