  • I keep running into these strange little star pattern bolts and fasteners. Here is a video describing my journey so far.

    Great video.. I have a mercedes and have been working with only e torx and noticed that none of them seem to fit perfect. It's either too large or too small. I even bought another brand to see but I will check out sunex. I dunno why there is such variation in manufacturing of e torx sockets... there is never this issue with standard hex bolts.

    Thank you for making this video, I’ve literally just had to buy a few Torx and External Torx sets to DIY repair and maintain my 2011 BMW 335i with only 43000 miles on it.
    Having looked under the hood of BMWs and Audis (German Makes), most every flat hat and head bolt under the hood is Torx or E- Torx.
    I’m going to buy those long Titan E-Torx sockets you showed from Oreilly’s.
    I’m waiting on a nice 1/4 & 3/8 drive Torx set and an all 3/8 drive External Torx Sets, I just ordered from Tekton to be delivered.

    where are the sizes from T15 to T20 such as 16, 17, 18, and 19?

      From what I understand, they don't make fasteners with those sizes.

      I've never seen a set with E9. E13.E15. or E17. E19.E21.or E23. I don't think they are made.
      If E-torx with rounded points won't fit fastener try EP (PLUS) size set the Torx Plus has wider square end points or splines.
