If your 850 and later model vehicle has an ABS/Tracs light on and the module is the culprit (diagnostic trouble codes 123-124-213-214-313-314-323-324) you’ll need our E5 external torx to remove the control unit. The four fasteners are accessed from the bottom of the unit and require a bit of care to ensure no damage occurs. Don’t try to use a socket that is ‘close’ or you may just have two problems on your hands! Better yet, get our 11 piece external torx set, containing E4 through E20 and tackle those front wheel bearing fasteners too!

From the 850 up to the XC90 torx screws are showing up more and more. From the engine compartment to the interior and from panels to covers they fasten countless pieces in the vehicle. Our torx drivers feature a rubberized ergo soft handle for maximum grip and a hex shank for applying a wrench when arm strength alone won’t break it free. Great in the glove box or the tool box! T25 and T30 will cover about 90% of the most common jobs encountered by do-it-yourselfers!

Torx bits have found their way into Volvo since the late model 240 series and are ever increasing in the newest generations. Our handy tool includes the most commonly used torx sizes (T9 – T40) and folds up tight to fit in a pocket or keep in the glove box. An aluminum body for light-weight strength and a rust proof finish, will keep this tool around for years to come.

1/4” and 3/8” Drive Torx Bit Set

Torx fasteners are rapidly replacing Phillips head and metric hex head fasteners on the newer Volvo models. You’ll find the common T-25 and T-30 sizes used on 700 and 900 series models as well as a few of the other common sizes, which can usually be handled with the Torx drivers included in the factory tool kit. Finding a good quality set of Torx bits can be a challenge. This set, made in the USA, is made of high strength hardened alloy steel for the professional mechanic (lifetime warranty) and includes 1/4” drive T-10,T15,T-20,T-25, T-27, T-30 and 3/8” drive T-40, T-45, and T-50 bits. The dual drive sizes may seem unusual at first, but after using them for awhile, it really makes good sense. The 1/4” drive on the smaller bits allows them to be used in tight fit areas where a larger socket body and 3/8” ratchet driver wouldn’t fit. The 3/8” drive on the larger bits insures you’ll be able to break loose the larger sized fasteners that a 1/4” drive couldn’t handle.

Bone Tool

No, it’s not a tool to use at your local archeological dig sight. It’s a tough nylon tool that’s used to take apart instrument clusters and interior trim. Most of these interior parts of cars are made of plastic and are held in place by clips or snaps. To remove them, you have to get underneath them and pry them off. A screwdriver or a metal prybar is not a good choice for this as metal tools tend to scratch these panels very easily and generally make a big mess. The bone tool is stiff enough to act as a pry bar but soft enough to leave most plastics unscratched. It has rounded edges and slightly pointed shape that’s just right for doing this type of work. Factory technicians have used them for years. If you plan on doing any type of interior work on your car then these tools are a must. They also work great for popping off exterior moldings without scratching the paint. They might even be just the thing for that brontosaurus you’re digging up in your back yard!
