That is a good set. It's the best value I've seen. But, I couldn't find it in their current flier........http://ecatalograck.genpt.com/pdfcat/RealDeals_1Q_2011_Linked/WebProject.asp?CodeId=7.4.1.1# so I don't think it's on sale right now.

Beleieve it or not Home Depot sells a husky set that has just about every torx and related bit styles. They are pretty decent and if you break one, just go make a stink at Home Depot and they will take it back.

These are great and the price is also excellent! I've had these for about 4 years and they're awesome--used professionally in the automotive field. Not something I use everyday, but still...Craftsman Professional tools are alright sometimes. Depends on what you get, but these I HIGHLY recommend these. The shaft length is the perfect size for raching past obstruction. The tips are also wearing nicely and the handles are comfortable and also let you generate a lot of torque w/o slipping.

I can't see spending a **** load of money on a specific tool set like this. I'm sure most of what's available will "suffice", but you'll come across a few diffferent style grips & lengths. I have a couple shorter Snap On mini-torx screwdrivers for tighter area fasteners, I.E. Vortec 4.3l distributor caps and rotors.

they left the T40 out of the list. I have that set, had to warranty one right out of the package.

I like the wiha bits in my Snap-on ratcheting screwdriver.

But, I REALLY like my Hazet torx sockets!

I agree with the above--screwdrivers aren't really that efficient for larger torx.

I've got a set of Craftsmans at the house and a set of Macs at work - I tear them up with about the same frequency. I've had the same t-15 bit with one of my ratcheting Snappies since 94 or 95 if that says anything.
