#2298 6-Lobe EXTRA (TXP) Tamper Resistant Driver Bit & Key Gage
The #2298 6-Lobe EXTRA (TXP) Tamper Resistant Driver Bit & Key Gage is a receiving inspection tool designed to verify the dimensional conformity of tamper-resistant 6-Lobe Extra driver bits, keys, and screwdriver tooling prior to production use.
Engineered for end users and quality laboratories, the 2298 Series confirms that supplied tamper-resistant TXP driver tooling meets NIQ-613 standards for proper engagement with compliant tamper-resistant 6-Lobe Extra fasteners.
This gage verifies:
• Tamper-resistant driver tip GO condition• Tamper-resistant driver tip NO-GO limit condition• Lobe geometry conformity• Proper engagement compatibility with pin-in recess designs
Each gage is heat treated, thermally stabilized, and surface treated to provide maximum hardness and long-term dimensional stability. All sizes are calibrated to specified tolerances and are traceable to NIST standards.
Ideal for:
• Aerospace assembly facilities• Automotive manufacturing plants• Security fastener programs• Supplier validation programs• ISO-compliant receiving inspection departments
The 2298 Series ensures tamper-resistant driver tooling performs correctly before release to production.
