Look close below the size...

I'd say nope. Go craftsman if you need inexpensive quality.

I'd go anything other then tiawan. You can see the torqx bits stamped with that plain as day!

Craftsman or Snap-on, MAC.

That guy is just trying to pass flea-market crap with Harley as a 'buzz' word.

Glad that you asked.

Got a "cheap" set once and I quickly found out why they were cheap.

Go Craftsman. Reasonable and guaranteed.

In my end of the trade those are called 'twist-offs'. The first time you try to use them the tip twists and breaks off, usually inside the bolt that has difficult access. The safe thing to do is purchase something like Craftsman. IF you do manage to break one it will be replaced by sears at no charge. That's called a warranty.
