Purpose and User

The OTC 216773 forcing-screw nut is a test-and-measurement accessory for automotive technicians who need a T30 tamper-resistant Torx driver in a 1/4-inch format. It is not intended for general-purpose fastening or for applications that require a different drive size or bit profile.

Installation Notes

The component fits directly onto a compatible 1/4-inch drive tool; no additional adapters are required when the drive matches. Misalignment or use with an incorrect drive size can strip the tamper-resistant recess and damage the fastener.

Critical Specification

The defining specification is the T30 tamper-resistant Torx profile combined with a 1/4-inch measurement. If the repair calls for a different Torx size, a standard Torx profile, or a larger drive, this nut will not engage the fastener correctly.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the T30 Tamper Resistant Torx bit engages correctly after installation?

The bit should seat fully into the fastener head with no wobble and transmit torque smoothly without cam-out when turned.

What components are included with the OTC 216773 and what must be sourced separately?

The package contains the forcing-screw nut with integrated T30 Tamper Resistant Torx 1/4" bit; a compatible 1/4" drive handle or ratchet is not included.

Which version of the OTC 216773 should I select for a T30 Tamper Resistant Torx application?

The 216773 is a single configuration — T30 Tamper Resistant Torx, 1/4" — so no alternative versions or capacities exist to choose between.
