Torx Gurus

[BCGPER]

I need to remove about 100 screws. T-20 is too small, T-25 is too large. Google is failing me, is there such a thing as T-22 or T-23? I'm about to break out the left handed drill set, but that's going to take forever.

Are you sure they are not torx plus?

Not sure but I think there is a 22 or 23. My torxes are at work. Harbor freight sells a small bit set with torxes.

Educate me, WTF is Torx plus?

Looking closer, it's an eight sided fastener not six. I found that a #2 square driver will get them out.

For anyone working on enclosed trailers, they all use these same fasteners. The #2 square works, but it's not what they use.

It looks just like a standard torx but with more filled out (squared) edges. Usually a standard torx will work on them but never really fits right. Your correct usually all trailers are 8 points or just the standard square.

I would, but then I'd end up with a huge pile of burned rubble with 100 stuck screws on it.

From what I hear, it's a proprietary 8 point that the manufacturers use. That way only they can do the repairs.

The 8 point are called double square or spider drive... lowes and Home Depot typically stock the bits

The regular square bits fit them fine, I recently ran into this while tearing a totaled trailer apart and building my cargo conversion.
