Product Specification

T20 X 1" TAMPER-RESISTANT STAR / TORX® SECURITY INSERT BIT - 1/4" HEX - 10 PACK

Benchmark Abrasives T20 x 1" Tamper-Resistant Star / TORX® Security Insert Bits are professional-grade driver bits built for contractors, maintenance professionals, distributors, and technicians working with protected or tamper-resistant fasteners. Each bit is manufactured from heat-treated S2 shock-resistant tool steel hardened to HRc 60 for the strength, toughness, and wear resistance required in repeated fastening applications.

The T20 security star tip is CNC precision-ground for accurate dimensions and reliable engagement with compatible T20 tamper-resistant star and TORX® fasteners. A center hole in the bit clears the security pin located inside the matching screw recess, allowing proper seating where a standard solid star bit cannot engage. The standard 1/4" hex shank makes these compact 1" insert bits easy to use with compatible bit holders, screwdrivers, drills, and other properly equipped driving tools.

Applications & Performance

Designed for driving and removing compatible T20 tamper-resistant star and TORX® security screws used in protected components, equipment panels, fixtures, enclosures, electronics, appliances, machinery, and other applications where security fasteners help discourage unauthorized access.

The center-hole design allows the bit to seat over the security pin in a matching tamper-resistant screw recess. For best performance, match the T20 tip to the correct fastener and keep the bit square to the screw during operation. Proper engagement improves torque transfer and helps reduce slipping, fastener damage, and premature bit wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

The T20 star tip has a center hole that clears the security pin inside a matching tamper-resistant screw recess. Standard solid star bits cannot fully seat on this type of fastener.
The security pin is part of the screw. The bit has the center hole that fits over and clears that pin.
It is designed for compatible T20 tamper-resistant star and TORX® security fasteners with the matching center-pin recess.
Choose this T20 security bit for a matching six-lobe screw with a center pin. For a T20 star screw without a pin, a standard T20 star bit is also an option. Always match the tip size and profile to the screw.
It is manufactured from heat-treated S2 shock-resistant tool steel with an HRc 60 hardness for strength, toughness, and wear resistance.
The security star tip is CNC precision-ground for accurate dimensions and consistent engagement with compatible fasteners.
It has a standard 1/4" hex insert-bit shank.
Examples include the DEWALT® DCD800B, Milwaukee® 3403-20, Makita® XFD13Z and Bosch® GSR12V-300HXN, used with a compatible 1/4" insert-bit holder. The DEWALT® DCF601B screwdriver accepts this 1" tip directly. See the Machine Compatibility list for more options; switch off hammer action on hammer drills.
No. The shank size describes tool fit, not impact performance. For impact fastening, choose a bit specifically designated for impact use and a compatible impact-rated holder when needed.
Each pack contains 10 T20 x 1" tamper-resistant star / TORX® security insert bits.
