Has anyone used these TekTon bits?

[DaVincisGarage]

Hey, I came across some Torx Bits from Tekton. (1/4, 3/8, 1/2 Inch Drive Star Bit Socket Set, 35-Piece (E4-E18, TR8-TR55, T8-T60)

A review on Youtube said they were awesome... Just wondering if anyone has had some first hand experience with them or can give me advise on a GOOD set at a decent tag.

Cheers

Why do they say "star drive?" Why not say Torx?

I think it is because "torx" is a trademarked name and they would have to pay the trademark owner to use it.

That's what I thought. They're a bunch of cheap SOB's.

Almost everybody calls Torx star for that exact reason. TOPTUL does that too.

I got the same set on Amazon over a year ago, excellent quality and finish, you'll love it.

Snap-on and MAC can't get away with that. The mechanics would say: "What the hell is a star drive?"

Thanks for the heads-up. Just added them to my wish list on Amazon. Price: $34.99.

I bought that set back in 2014. I've used it many times and never a problem.

Amazon had a large Tekton sale but it just ended. I seems to come around every few months. You might want to wait to save a few bucks.

I use Mac, wera or whia for torx and they've always fit well.

Careful of cheap torx bits as you'll strip the screw head if the bits even a bit too small, especially if the screw heads rusted.

Saying that i've some tekton pliers and they were nice for the money.
