Recommend some good male torx bit's

[fiv216]

Hey! Can someone recommend me a good quality set of male torxs bits?

I know the word is Snap On HD's are the best, but I'm looking for something above craftsman quality below snap on price.

I've been looking at nepros but still a tad pricey.. Looking for 3/8" drive T10-T60,

Haven't even had much luck looking for used /:

I've been using SK but don't have any basis for comparison as they are the only ones I have (save for one Snap-On) they seem to work well and I haven't twisted/messed up any of them. They will rust if stored in a humid location so a spray with some T9 or something may be in order.

They are not 1/4", but rather fit into small metric sockets. Impact ready, and damn tough. I haven't been able to foul one up yet.

MIGHT have to copy and paste that link, GJ adds some referral **** to links that an ad-blocker doesn't like.

Seems like a good buy... To those that'll suggest saving for snap on, it's just not able to be justified in my mind. Any have any comparison of snappy to proto?

Which means you are looking for a 3/8" drive socket bit set, not bits alone, correct?

VIM and S-K are very capable.
The top of the line is Snap-On for these along with the hex bit socket drive sets.

C'man does not carry many of the sizes needed, thus the need to step up. I agree 100%
Even NAPA/Carlysle will net you a very good set if you work on a NAPA supplied route and get the mega discount or have a NAPA in.

Hex and torx bit square drive sockets are not something to cheap out on. BTDT.

I plan on buying a set of SK's during the SK event next month.

My gearwrench from Cripe are decent.

Haven't used them too hard yet though.

 

[fiv216]

Yeah, I should've specefied I'm looking for sockets not bits. Mine see a lot of use. I drive a BMW, most of my family drives euro so they're used just about as much as my trusty 10mm. I'll have to look more into this SK thing happening next month.

The gold ones from SO and the ones Bondhus has are excellent.

I purchased the Gearwrench set based on good reviews seen here. I haven't put heavy use on them, but they seem nicer than the craftsman ones.

I might as well. I use Torx on an older Jeep, so I hope the SKs will be good enough so I won't need to get the Snap On gold ones.

There was another member who posted here that said he had used his SK torx bits on his jeep for a while now. He was the reason I bought my SK sets. I've never worked on a Jeep, but I've heard what a pain the torx fasteners everywhere on them are!

I have Wigan short and gear wrench long. Both seem good. Also have some hazet, but those are only cheap if you're lucky.

Might be worthwhile to get a single snappy heavy duty T40 as used on most of the external body hinges
And if they seem stuck don't be afraid to use heat

I got the Snap-on sockets because I got tired of other brands having bits that wiggle in the socket. Want the bit tight in the socket.

Matco Torx at least in the past have been pretty good too and may be available for cheaper on ebay than snap ons. Many sets don't have t60 as it's not that common, most sets go to t55 just FYI.
