Figured I'd combine the questions. I realized today I need to have some 4"-6" hex drive torx bits. For space reasons I don't really want to get full-on drivers or even bit sockets. I want the Wiha set to match my 1" torx bits, but for the rare occasion I need them I can't see spending over $100. I'm thinking the $0-$40 range. I probably only need T-10 to T30, but would probably do better just to get a set like T8 to T40. Any recommendations?

Next I also want to replace my magnetic hex drive nut setters. The magnets in mine are getting weak and or falling out. I only need 7, 8, 10 & 12. These are pretty high use for me, but light duty, trim etc. I don't mind spending what it takes, but budget is a factor. What direction would you point me in there?

As far as the nut setters go, I've had great luck with the Neiko sets from ebay. They're pretty much all made in China anyway and don't seem to really distinguish themselves (good or bad) from Irwin, Milwaukee, or DeWalt branded ones. I literally beat on them daily and cannot tell a difference.

Just found this VIM nut-setter set that looks pretty sweet. It has six magnetic and six hollow shaft in 8mm-14mm. Man, I really wish it had a 7mm. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002Y0EOT2/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Also found these long nut-setters. Hadn't thought about getting those in long but I believe I'll pick those up.
