Was wondering who made these for Matco and if they are available elsewhere. They seem pretty slick, does anyone own these?

Thanks for link. We have tons of torx in hard to reach places on our machines at work. Ordered a set. 
Those are funky looking. I wonder what a common application(s) would be.

Real question since I've never used a universal with torx. How does the bit stay in and not strip out? Torx can be hard enough when you can push solidly into the recess on non- rusty fasteners let alone ones on tie-rod ends
I own this set, I only bought them because I couldn't find them made by anyone else. They are good for recessed torx that are hard to get a straight shot, if you put some forward pressure on the bit they dont try to wobble and cam out much, especially once worn in. But i've even used them by hand with a hex bit screwdriver in more delicate situations.
I don't know where you found that picture, but if they're being made by Astro, it's appears to be exclusively for Matco. I don't see them on Astro's website, I've never seen them before, and I can't find any trace of them elsewhere on the internet either.
Maybe I need better search skills or need to use a different search engine...

Judging solely by a quick perusal of their site, they appear to be affiliated with Astro--perhaps the parent company or a supplier?

Fisher Tool is the international name of us, Astro. Same company, started by Irving Fisher in the 70's, now 3rd generation Fisher.
Only does international sales however, we're talking Middle East, South America, some Europe. Usually container loads anyhow, not per piece.
The pinless impact driver universal sets are made exclusively for Matco here, as with many items you'll find on tool trucks these days.

They're on a pretty good sale right now in the August Matco flyer.

They have a website you can order from directly but with the postage you might want to see if you could track down a guy.
