Yep! I bought one from Snap-On. A nice T-47. Worth the price.If it's a torx bit head. It's not standard torx head. It is a Torx Plus , high strength torx bolt. You must use a Torx +P bit..You must be registered for see images attach
That is odd. All of the torx bolts for the seat belts in my trucks are FTX500, T 47 is to looseYep! I bought one from Snap-On. A nice T-47. Worth the price.
That is what I have, too. On Snap-On’s website they call it a T47 and an FTX500 - that is where I got T47 from.That is odd. All of the torx bolts for the seat belts in my trucks are FTX500, T 47 is to loose
Please don't subject an area of high design strength to high heat produced by molten metal. Especially in something as important as seat belt hardware retention. Try the working smarter, " why are bits breaking ? " " They feel loose " . The service manual references all hardware, type , grade, and tools.I also stripped out that bolt when replaced my seatbelts. My dad and I ended up cutting the head off of one of the bolts. We then very carefully drilled most of the bolt out, coming just short of removing the entire bolt. What remained at that point was just a paper thin amount of the threads from the bolt. Then with a hammer and punch, my dad even more carefully tapped the remaining part of the bolt out. Slow and painful process but we didn't damage the threading in the floor pan at all.
Now that I own a welder, I too recommend welding a nut onto the bolt and spinning it out.
Good point, I removed that part from my reply.Please don't subject an area of high design strength to high heat produced by molten metal.

Everything is in the service manual, if you look.
Mine works fine. Never slips. Grimace and I are in agreement.You didn't show the driving end . I'm using the industrial design designation, not the tool truck or a supplier name number. Look at the end, the larger squared off , driving legs, shows it's " Torx + P ", or " Torx Plus ".
If the torx bit doesn't fit snug, look at it again , it may require " T - Plus " bit. Especially if the bolts are installed in a high strength required area, as in seatbelt retention hardware.
