Capri Tools Long T30 Star Bit Socket, 1/4-Inch Drive - 3-0599

I'm a lifelong, over-educated, certified to the hilt auto/truck and equipment mechanic but I am also a disabled veteran and I had to sell my garage a decade ago due to injuries suffered while in the Army. I have well in excess of $50,000 worth of Snap-on, Mac, Cornwell, Matco etc. etc. tools all in a toolbox that costs more than what a great newer used car used to cost, but I have that at the garage where I help restore and build cars and trucks as well as still do quite a bit of diagnostic and drivability work, when my body allows. I also have a MAC toolbox at my house with maybe $15,000 worth of top tier professional tools (Snap-on, Mac etc.) but there is also a LOT I don't have at home. I've had a run on a couple dozen chainsaws, 2-stroke Tampers and other commercial/industrial power equipment to repair/rebuild in the past few months and I needed some tools such as Torx sockets so I could remove/replace all of the screws/bolts with a Torx head using my 3/8" Ingersol-Rand electric impact wrench as it is a hell of a lot faster than using a screwdriver or even a 1/4"ratchet. I bought one Torx socket from Capri, an extra-long T27 socket/bit that fits *almost* every single bolt and screw on most Stihl saws and WOW! I have rebuilt 15 Stihl saws this summer alone and probably did almost 3 dozen since I bought that bit and it is STILL in excellent condition, despite MANY real tight bolts that made my gun actually work. The Ingersol 3/8"electric impact wrench produces a LOT of power. I don't know the spec off of the top of my head, but I've removed stubborn lugnuts using this that people couldn't break free with those useless tools that come from the factory with many vehicles today! It produces at least a couple hundred lb/ft of impact torque, so it is more than capable of destroying low quality tools. I've bought essentially a complete set (a couple here, a couple there) of the Capri brand and so far I have yet to break a single one and none is close to being worn out. While I won't claim these are anywhere near the quality of a Mac or a Snap-on, for those of you who need Torx sockets, Allen sockets or pretty much anything else I've ever bought with the Capri name for relatively stringent usage, you won't be disappointed with them! I'm glad I found an inexpensive tool that seems to be much better made than the vast majority of inexpensive tools and I do personally recommend these. Like I stated previously, I wouldn't go thinking these are going to be a stand in for a Snap-on or Mac in professional, every single day usage, but for the person who needs the odd tool here and there or the do it yourself guy/gal or the home-owner, buy these! you won't regret it! *** NOTE *** I have only ever bought their socket-bits, some sockets and extensions. I can NOT speak to the quality of their ratchets, wrenches, screwdrivers or anything else.

Works great when changing out front brake pads and rotors on ford transit vans. Price and quality are great don’t spend money on the tool truck. Buy this instead

I have a Mazda CX-9 and, being an ASE certified mechanic, I decided to change a worn out rear hub and bearing assembly, rather than pay $450 to someone else. One requirement to get the rear hub off is a long T55 Torx tool. This one fit the bill for the removal of the four bolts. I recommend.

Good quality

Perfect length to attach to a socket wrench to remove rear wheel hubs. These were also strong enough to attach to an impact wrench. Jaguar X Type.

It wasn't as long as I expected so it my case it's just another torx but since it didn't help in the situation that I bought it for. It removed the to bolts off that I could get with it off as you would expect. I'd consider this more a medium length bit than a long bit.

Needed it to do a specific repair on my car. Didn't need a complete set, just needed an extra long Torx bit because my standard Torx socket bits are short and wouldn't fit inside the hole with the extension on them. This worked perfectly though!

Seems quality will use today if good I wont be back.

Decent price for a hard to find tool. Used to remove hardware on front hub of Transit.
