I unfortunately work in a world that doesn't see tool trucks and have a project coming up that I need an E torx in the next couple days. Before I go to a big box or HF, can anyone recommend a good set of E torx that can be found via Amazon prime. American made is a plus. My quick searches have pulled up a whole slew of Taiwan made tools (which I know can be of great quality). Opinions?

End of the day I can always run to the local 3, but I say buy once and buy right if possible.

Do you know what sizes you'll need?

Facom (Mac) make great torx and e-torx sockets. Not cheap though.

Lisle 26280, I believe they are still USA made and only around $40

X2, actually about $30 and made in USA. They're decent, wouldn't bother with SK unless you're using them all the time, even then the Lisle may be just fine.

Lisle e-torx sockets are good quality, made in the USA, and easy on the wallet.

The Lisle 26280 set is on Amazon for $28.

I will have to check them out


SK is great, but wanted to explore other options I may not know about.

I only need the e10 at this time, but may as well buy a set.

Not what you really asked for but, I got the Husky set from Home Depot. They are nicely made, have a good size selection, life time warranty, and have worked well so for. They are priced below a lot of other sets.

This is my backup set in case I can't find something else that makes me happy.

Another vote for the Lisle. I've got em and they seem pretty good so far.



Don't really need impact, are they just finished in black, or are they intended for use with impact tools?

Yes, they are just finished in black instead of chrome plated, likely to save $$. The lisle sockets are not impact rated.

If you only need an E10, you can use a 12-point 5/16" in its place. Having just repaired my BMW recently, I know it works perfectly.

I like my gearwrench set, but not US made.
