The TORX PLUS ® Drive System is the<br />
ideal drive system <strong>for</strong> screws <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>plastic</strong>s, since it provides optimum<br />
torque transfer, even when <strong>for</strong>ming or<br />
cutting threads in rein<strong>for</strong>ced <strong>plastic</strong>s.<br />
Its unmatched ability to increase<br />
productivity by outper<strong>for</strong>ming<br />
competing drive systems can lower<br />
assembly costs.<br />

Key advanTages<br />
• Allows optimum torque transfer <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>ming or cutting threads<br />
in <strong>plastic</strong> applications<br />
Unique, elliptically-based geometric configuration to maximize<br />
engagement between driver and fastener<br />
True 0° drive angle virtually eliminates the radial <strong>for</strong>ces that<br />
cause stress on fastener recesses with vertical walls<br />
• Allows optimum torque transfer, even in <strong>plastic</strong>s rein<strong>for</strong>ced<br />
with nylon or carbon fibers<br />
Vertical sidewalls completely enclose the driver tip, reducing<br />
tool slippage and virtually eliminating camout<br />
• Prevents damage to the fastener and surrounding surfaces,<br />
which often occurs with cross recess fasteners<br />
• Eliminates the debris camout can create, which can damage<br />
sensitive applications<br />
• Minimizes damage to application<br />
Higher torque removal capability than any other drive system<br />
• Helps minimize damage to boss from removal and reinsertion<br />
of the screw<br />
Improved fit between fastener and tool minimizes wear on the<br />
drive bit<br />
• Drive bit life lengthened as much as 12 times<br />
• Downtime and costs are reduced since significantly fewer<br />
drive bit changes are required<br />
