Torx sizes

Can you recommend a make - I was going to get some cheap and cheerful ones? Maybe I should go for a kit for my 1/2 inch air wrench, normally those bits are made of good quality steel.

I only buy WERA-bits

Nick

I also like WERA. Britool are generally good too.

Best option is to physically look at them, and make sure they look well made.

I got a sealey set at work a couple years ago, and other than breaking a couple, they were fine. However, I just got a newer bigger set a few months ago, and they're crap. I've snapped countless numbers of them, and they're not the best fit.

You won't go far wrong with a set of Syke-Pickavant, which is what the broken stuff normally gets replaced with (SP will sell individual bits, whereas Sealey doesn't). Even with the good stuff, the bits wills till break, but generally only when abusing them!

I agree. A couple of years ago I lined and shelved a bathroom cupboard - about 80-100 wood screws in a confined space. I just happened to have bought a collection of torx woodscrews from Axminster a few weeks before that, so I used them. Magic! Every screw sat securely on the power drill torx driver, never a single slippage or damaged head. Pity they cost several times as much as other woodscrews.

Square socket head are likely just as good - and only cost twice as much!

Will they go into round holes?

Well someone's got to ask..
