Lisle Torx Plus Bolt Driver Set — 9-Piece TP-10–TP-50 with 1/4" & 3/8" Drives, Vinyl Holder

Lisle 81000 is a compact 9-piece Torx Plus bolt driver set covering the most used TP sizes for automotive repair and maintenance.

This kit gathers the commonly required Torx Plus sizes into a single, organized vinyl holder so you can tackle fasteners found on transmissions, seat anchors, pickup bed bolts and other vehicle applications without hunting for the correct bit. Torx Plus (TP) geometry differs from standard Torx; using the proper TP drivers preserves fastener life and allows full torque transfer compared with mismatched Torx tools.

Which Torx Plus sizes come in this Lisle set?

The 81000 includes nine of the most frequently used Torx Plus bits for automotive work: TP-10 through TP-30 and the larger TP-40, TP-45 and TP-50. Six bits are made on a 1/4" drive for ratchets and bit holders, while the three larger sizes are 3/8" drive to handle higher torque needs.

• Included sizes: TP-10, TP-15, TP-20, TP-25, TP-27, TP-30, TP-40, TP-45, TP-50
• Drive sizes: six 1/4" drive bits, three 3/8" drive bits
• Vinyl storage holder keeps bits organized and portable

How does Torx Plus differ from standard Torx and why use TP bits?

Torx Plus features an improved contact geometry that increases the surface area between driver and screw. That design reduces cam-out and lets you apply higher torque safely, which is important on vehicle fasteners designed for stronger engagement than standard Torx can provide.

• Torx Plus drivers will not fit standard Torx fasteners
• Standard Torx drivers may fit TP fasteners loosely and can't transfer full torque reliably
• Using the correct TP bit lowers the chance of rounding or stripping fasteners

What common automotive parts use Torx Plus fasteners?

Torx Plus is widely used by major manufacturers in places that require secure fastening with high torque tolerance. Typical applications include GM transmission bell housing bolts, multiple Ford interior and body fasteners such as seat belt anchors and pickup bed bolts, and other areas where robust torque is necessary.

• GM transmission bell housing bolts
• Ford seat belt anchors and pickup bed bolts
• Other automotive brackets and assemblies that demand durable fastener engagement

How is the Lisle kit packaged and how easy is it to store or expand?

The bits are supplied in a compact vinyl holder that keeps each piece accessible and labeled, making it easy to toss the set into a toolbox or hang in a shop. Lisle also offers individual TP bits (including TP-55 and TP-60 sold separately), so you can replace lost sizes or expand the collection as needed.

• Compact vinyl holder for storage and transport
• Individual bits available if you need TP-55 or TP-60 later
• Mix of 1/4" and 3/8" drive sizes for versatility with ratchets and adapters

Who is this for? The Lisle 81000 is intended for mechanics, home DIYers, and fleet maintenance technicians who regularly work on modern vehicles that use Torx Plus fasteners. If you service GM or Ford components or want a focused TP range in a tidy holder, this nine-piece kit provides the essential sizes for most automotive repair jobs without carrying unnecessary extras.
