Buy Torx Screwdrivers Online in Australia
Torx screwdrivers drive the six-point star (Torx) fastener heads used across automotive, electronics, instrument and general trade assembly. Where a Torx power bit suits an impact driver or drill, a dedicated hand screwdriver gives the control needed for precision electronics, finished panel work, and jobs where a power tool risks damage. AIMS Industrial stocks Torx hand screwdrivers from Wiha, Stahlwille, Bondhus, Genius and Ko-Ken, spanning T3 to T50 across standard, precision, tamper-resistant and Torx Plus formats. If you're weighing up which one to choose, our Torx Bit Sizes Guide is a good place to start.
Torx Screwdriver Selection — Quick Reference
| Driver Type | Torx Range Stocked | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Standard fixed-blade | T6–T40 | General workshop, automotive, appliance repair |
| T-handle | T8–T50 | Higher-torque driving with two-hand grip |
| 3/8" square-drive Torx socket | T9–T40 | Use with a ratchet or torque wrench |
| Precision / electronics | T3–T10 | Instrument assembly, ESD-sensitive electronics |
| Torx Plus | 5IP–25IP | Torx Plus fasteners only — not for standard Torx |
| Tamper-resistant (security) | TR7–TR30 / T10H–T40H | Pin-in-Torx fasteners, tamper-resistant applications |
| Extra-long | T15–T30 | Deep-recess and panel-mounted fasteners |
Critical: match Torx size exactly — an undersized or oversized driver rounds out the socket. A standard Torx driver will not fully seat in a Torx Plus fastener, and will not engage a security (pin-in-Torx) fastener at all. Companion: Torx power bits, screwdrivers, mixed screwdriver sets, security bits.
Torx Screwdriver Types We Stock
Standard fixed-blade Torx screwdrivers
Wiha's SoftFinish range and Stahlwille's Torx Drall range cover the everyday workshop sizes in a fixed-blade, moulded-handle format — the default choice for general Torx fastening across automotive, appliance and machinery work.
T-handle Torx screwdrivers
Stahlwille's Torx T-Handle screwdriver runs T8 through T50 in a cross-bar handle that lets you apply more torque with less wrist strain than an in-line handle — useful on stiffer or corroded Torx fasteners.
3/8" square-drive Torx sockets
Stahlwille's Socket Torx range and Ko-Ken's Tamper Proof Torx range are square-drive sockets rather than handled screwdrivers, designed to fit a 3/8" ratchet or torque wrench — the right choice where a job needs measured torque or extra leverage rather than hand control.
Precision and electronics Torx screwdrivers
Wiha's PicoFinish and Precision ESD Magicspring ranges bring Torx down to T3–T10 in slim, ESD-safe handles for instrument assembly and electronics work, including the System 4 reversible double-ended blades and the Torx Multitool Pocket Star for field and bench use.
Torx Plus screwdrivers
Wiha's SoftFinish and PicoFinish Torx Plus drivers (5IP–25IP) match the elliptical-lobe Torx Plus geometry. They are not interchangeable with standard Torx fasteners — use a standard Torx driver on a Torx Plus fastener and it will seat poorly and round out under load.
Tamper-resistant (security) Torx screwdrivers
Bondhus's Torx Hex Key Tamper Resistant screwdrivers (TR7–TR30) and Ko-Ken's Tamper Proof Torx screwdrivers and sets (T10H–T40H) are built with a centre bore that clears the raised pin in a security Torx fastener — a standard Torx driver simply won't engage. Stahlwille's 3K Drall Tamperproof range and Hollow Point sets cover the same job across T6–T40.
Extra-long Torx screwdrivers
Stahlwille's Drall + Long Torx screwdriver (T15–T30) extends reach for recessed or panel-mounted fasteners that a standard-length blade can't get to.
Torx screwdriver sets
For a spread of sizes in one buy: Genius's 12-piece ARX-TX512A set, Wiha's 6 and 7-piece SoftFinish and PicoFinish sets, Ko-Ken's 7-piece tamper-proof set, and Stahlwille's 8 and 9-piece sets (including tamper-resistant and hollow-point variants) cover most workshops without buying singles.
Brands Stocked at AIMS
Wiha covers the broadest range at AIMS — standard, precision, ESD and Torx Plus drivers, built to the fine tip tolerances that matter for electronics and instrument work. Stahlwille supplies German-engineered standard, T-handle, socket-drive and tamper-resistant drivers built for daily trade use. Bondhus is our specialist for tamper-resistant (TR) Torx drivers. Genius supplies a value 12-piece general-purpose set, and Ko-Ken supplies tamper-proof socket-style Torx drivers and sets.
Choosing the Right Torx Screwdriver
- Match the size exactly — check the fastener's size marking or spec sheet rather than guessing; a driver one size out rounds the socket.
- Standard vs Torx Plus — Torx Plus fasteners need a matching Torx Plus (IP) driver; a standard Torx driver won't seat properly.
- Standard vs security — a security (pin-in-Torx) fastener needs a driver with a bore through the tip; a standard driver can't get past the pin.
- Screwdriver vs socket-drive — a handled screwdriver suits hand-controlled work; a 3/8" square-drive Torx socket suits torque-wrench or ratchet applications.
- Singles vs sets — a set covers the day-to-day range in one buy; singles let you replace the size that wears out first, typically T20 and T25 in automotive use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Torx screwdriver?
A Torx screwdriver has a six-point star-shaped tip that engages matching Torx fastener heads. The six contact points spread torque more evenly than a Phillips or slotted tip, so the driver is less likely to cam out and round off the fastener — which is why Torx is common on automotive, electronics and appliance assembly.
What Torx sizes does AIMS stock in hand screwdrivers?
AIMS stocks Torx hand screwdrivers from T3 through T50. T6 to T40 covers most general workshop and automotive use, T3 to T10 covers precision electronics and instrument work, and T45–T50 (T-handle format) covers heavier fastening.
What's the difference between a standard Torx screwdriver and a security Torx screwdriver?
A security (tamper-resistant) Torx fastener has a raised pin in the centre of its drive socket that blocks a standard Torx driver. A security Torx driver has a matching bore through the tip to clear that pin — AIMS stocks these from Bondhus (TR sizes) and Ko-Ken (H-suffix sizes).
Can I use a standard Torx driver on a Torx Plus fastener?
Not reliably. Torx Plus uses an elliptical-lobe geometry rather than the straight-sided Torx profile — a standard Torx driver will seat poorly and can round out under load. Use a matching Torx Plus (IP-size) driver instead.
Should I buy a handled screwdriver or a 3/8" square-drive Torx socket?
A handled screwdriver suits hand-controlled work where feel and access matter. A 3/8" square-drive Torx socket is built to fit a ratchet or torque wrench, and is the better choice where the job calls for more leverage or a specified tightening torque.
Which Torx sizes are worth stocking as spares?
T20 and T25 see the most use in general automotive and trade work and are the sizes most likely to wear out first if you're buying individually rather than as a set.
