This is a professional-grade hand socket set designed specifically for external Torx (E-type) fasteners in the E4 through E8 range. The set comes mounted on a chrome-plated steel rail with spring retention clips, making it compact, organized, and ready for immediate use on any workbench or in a technician's toolkit. If your customers work with precision electronics, automotive electronics control modules, or security-fastened assemblies, this set is essential. For customers needing broader Torx coverage, consider pairing this with larger E-type socket options to build a complete tamper-resistant fastener solution.
