5-Sided Security Torx Plus TS Profile
These sockets feature a specialist 5-sided star profile combined with a central tamperproof hole.
This profile is designed for compatible security fasteners and should not be confused with conventional 6-point Torx, standard Torx Plus or other similar-looking security fastener systems.
Using the correct TS profile provides proper engagement with the fastener, helping improve torque transfer and reduce the risk of damaging specialist security fixings.
Always confirm the exact fastener profile and size required for the vehicle or component before use.
Automotive Applications
5-point security Torx Plus fasteners are used across a variety of specialist vehicle components and systems.
Applications can include certain:
- Air conditioning systems
- Fuel injection pumps

- Clutch assemblies
- Vehicle electronics
- Specialist security fasteners
- Engine and drivetrain components
These profiles can be encountered on applications involving manufacturers including Renault, Peugeot, Citroën and other PSA vehicles, and Mercedes-Benz, depending on vehicle model, year and component specification.
Vehicle applications vary, so the manufacturer's technical information should always be checked to confirm the required TS profile before use.
Professional Automotive & Workshop Use
This specialist Britool Hallmark set is particularly useful for professional technicians working on modern vehicles where conventional Torx tools cannot engage with the security fastener.

S2 Steel Fixed Driver Bits
The driver bits are manufactured from S2 steel, a material commonly selected for professional driver bits due to its combination of strength and wear resistance.
The fixed construction provides a stable connection between the driver profile and socket body, helping provide controlled and dependable torque transfer during specialist fastening applications.
As with other driver-bit products, always ensure the bit is fully engaged with the fastener before applying torque.
Tool Control Foam Storage
The complete set is supplied in a tool control foam tray, providing organised storage within a professional toolbox, roll cab or workshop drawer.
The dedicated tool positions allow technicians to quickly locate the required TS size and easily identify if an individual bit socket is missing.
