Guess I've been lucky -- I usually use any old T50/T55 and pull out my 4' extension bar
and get a nice chest workout.

I do tap the sockets into place to make sure they've seated well.

Make sure you are applying pressure along an even plane and not Torque the Torx.
I usually put one hand pushing down the ratchet end and the other at the end of the bar.
and push only with my right while trying to keep the left from allowing the ratchet to move.

Now I'm sure I've jinxed myself and I'll be in your boat on my next teardown.

Mike
