Re: Looking for torx plus in screwdrivers set

Regular torx plus is still 6 lobes though, it's tamper resistant torx plus that has only 5. Are you sure it's not pentalobe? Anyway: Both Wiha PB swiss only have regular torx plus as a fixed handle screwdriver, so I'm not sure that some other well-known company would make them.

Years back I was looking for some bits to match screws on a fuel system. They appeared to be torx plus tamper proof. However, regular torx plus tamper proof tools did not fit correctly. The screwdrivers that were supplied to us were too long to be used on the piece of equipment. Anyway, on post #35 there are some pictures of what was supplied.

If your looking for very small "precision screwdrivers" check out tools for phones or video games. I think that I have seen a kit that comes with torx plus tamper resistant screwdrivers.

Not sure you will find individual drivers with torx plus tamper-proof. I use them most everyday and they (work) supply us sockets and not drivers.

Difference between names TS1 and IPR ?

https://germantoolblog.com/2013/10/28/wiha-pentalobe-screwdrivers-for-apple-iphone-are-almost-here/

Some are calling them IPR1 since IPR is the sizing name used by Wera Tools and Wiha Tools for their larger size of the 5 point Security TorxPlus tools. IPR is essentially the same thing, although the IPR tools have a hole in the end to accommodate the security pin on the fastener. We have also seen the same driver by chinese manufacturers referred to as TS1 which is another abbreviation of Torx Security.
IPR by facom (Although ebay photo says Torx but description says IPR),,,I guess photo is wrong

Nice find on the Facoms. Torx bits have turned into a mess with the changes over the years.
