is this a torx or torx plus bit???

[Steve_P]

Bought a set of SK torx bits and the T47 looks like it has a different form than all the other bits. It is the one on the right in the pic below. I would assume that, like all the other bits in the set, they have the same basic form and just change size. But this one bit has a different form than the rest. So, does this look like a torx plus bit that was mixed in by accident?

Yeah, looks like Torx Plus

i think snap on refers to them as (t47) gm style torx, i have a set of mac torx plus sockets and im sure there not as radiused as that t47, im sure there a bit flatter on the edges

IIRC the T47 and T27 are both with the thicker flutes like that, but are not called trox plus. When I picked up a set from Snap On my dealer mentioned it.

i have some bits called half cut torx
your sockets remind me of that
they grip amazingly well; i got them from vim

My snapon FTX500 that I bought to fit door striker posts in GM 1980s looks like a Torx plus,was called T50 but was different than regular T50,I think they must have renamed them T47 later.
Then later they must have copied it in different sizes and called them Torx plus.
There's one called 50IP that is slightly bigger than the FTX500,that one is the genuine Torx plus (and much newer)

New SK webpage has what they call a T60 Torx plus,I don't think Snapon's go above 55 in plus. Doesn't look lilke SK sells online. Snapon calls their plus IP instead of T.
