The GEDORE TX50 5/16" TORX bit (model 887, EAN: 4010886657515) is a specialised fastening tool for driving screws with TORX heads. It features a 5/16" (7.94 mm) external hex shank and is designed for a precise fit in TX50 TORX screws.
It is made from chrome-vanadium (Cr-V) alloy tool steel, which undergoes a rigorous heat-treatment process to achieve a hardness of 58–62 HRC, ensuring resistance to high torque and wear.
The bit features an integrated magnetic system at the tip, providing reliable magnetic retention to hold the screw securely during use and reduce the risk of dropping or losing it.
Specifications include a working length of 25.4 mm (1 inch) and an overall length in accordance with the standards of the 887 series. Its TORX profile is precisely shaped to ensure full engagement with the screw edges and prevent slipping or cam-out.
The tool is compatible with all 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" square-drive sockets, as well as power and pneumatic tools when used with suitable adapters.
Typical applications include maintenance and assembly in the automotive, aerospace, electronics and heavy machinery industries, where TORX screws are widely used for their superior performance under high torque.
For optimal performance and longevity, clean the tool after each use, lubricate it periodically and store it in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. The tool meets European quality and safety standards for professional hand tools.
