When a Phillips is not a Phillips!

Step 24: ACR® Torq-Set 2®

ACR Torq-Set ribbed offset cruciform drive has become the revolutionary fastener system preferred by aeronautical engineers for use on military and commercial aircraft, missiles, satellites, and weapons systems worldwide.

Advantages and Disadvantages of ACR Torq-Set

A single driver inserts and removes the fasteners. The interlocking ribs - applied to the removal side of the driver bit and screw surfaces - eases fastener removal, even after a threaded fastener has become corroded, seized, or frozen. Camout is never a problem when driving in either direction with the ACR system. When meeting demands of high torque applications, the ACR Torq-Set drive system delivers ultimate performance while protecting against camout. The offset cruciform shape with interlocking ribs of the ACR Torq-Set design is unmatched for sure steady driving. Additionally, all ACR Torq-Set driver bits and recesses are interchangeable with standard Torq-Set components, thereby eliminating potential difficulties during emergency field maintenance. Available in sizes #0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10.
