Titan 16143 Tamper Resistant Stubby Star Bit Socket Set - 10 Piece

[Mridolfo]

Found these on Amazon for $5.18. Seems like a good deal. I paid $16.99 the other week for the non tamper resistant set.

Great, thank you for posting this. I really needed the security bits. After a quick Amazon chat they added it to an existing open order that I had so I didn't have to look for something else to buy.

In for one. Thanks!

Got one, down to $4.87.

 

[Mridolfo]

Well it looks like we cleaned Amazon out.

**** JB Tool sales through Amazon has them for $4.87. with free shipping.

Excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain 'Tamper resistant"

The bit is drilled in the center for use on tamper resistant torx bolts.

Next week's news...

Thousands of bathroom doors go missing nationwide.

You can get these on ebay for under 10 bucks (i think). In case you missed out and still want a set.

Received a cancellation email from Amazon. Supposedly they are OOS

 

[toufue_yang17]

^Same here.

Well dang,

Love this site and the deals, but I need to be faster on the draw I think.
I ordered it the 26th shortly after it was posted and just got this message back:

We're writing to inform you that your order from JB Tool Sales has been canceled because the item you purchased is out of stock. Please return and place your order again at a later time.

 

[azzido]

^it was most likely a pricing mistake and they just cancelled all the orders.

 

[Mridolfo]

Amazon was the seller on the one I ordered and it is showing that it has shipped.


On another note I order a different item (Titan 16149 Ribe Bit Socket Set) for JB Tool Sales and it was cancelled because it is out of stock.

 

[BleedingBlue]

My order was from JB Tool and it was just cancelled, they clearly just dont want to honor their pricing. I will be sending a complaint, but I know it is just a waste of my time.

 

[2004.5cumminsman]

Cancelled here as well. Asses....

 

[WhiffySpark]

Mine will be here tomorrow. They only had <5 left when I orders

Not "star bits" amazon, wtf.
Never understood this name for them. It's called a torx bit.
But good find op.

Torx is a trademarked name so they cannot use it without permission. Torx screw was patented until 1990 when the patent expired. Before that companies had to pay money if they wanted to make sockets, bits, etc., now they can make them, but cannot use name Torx unless they pay for it.

I ordered when the thread started. Just got a "your order is cancelled" email from Amazon...

 

[WhiffySpark]

Mine arrived today

 

[onarant]

Got a cancelled order also.

 

[blind]

Mine was just canceled too

 

[nicksnothereman]

I think rockbottom on ebay has some of these sets for a decent price. Not affiliated was looking at them a while ago. Not this cheap though.

 

[Mridolfo]

Mine arrived today.

 

[dngrmse]

I got my set yesterday. Ordered as soon as I saw this thread, seller was amazon.
