I own the set, and they are AWESOME. The only thing I hate is that they ARE NOT impact, even though they are black. Kinda messes with my OCD. Great sockets nonetheless.

For $20 you will run into a use for at least one of them that will make it worthwhile...

Declined the same offer from me. The listing showed two sets left.

Maybe he was sold out - or got too many $15 offers....

The two upper-most / hardest to reach bolts on a Jeep Wrangler bell housing...I learned the hard way trying to work through the night with no external torx bolts.

As a DIY'er, I bougth a set of E-Torx in 1988, for a job on a Dodge Omni. I've never used them since. They're still in my box, because I know if I ever got rid of them, I'd need one the next week!! :D I'm sure you pro's use them.

BMW uses them all over the drive line.

FWIW, BMW also uses E11 bolts sometimes, the socket for which is not generally included in these sets. I had to buy a single Snap-On E11 at one point simply because I couldn't find anyone else who made one.

Hard to find is right. I just rebuilt my neighbors transmission in his BMW Z3 Roadster. The transmission bell housing is all external torx bolts. He did find an E11 someplace on the internet.
