Default Torx Socket Set

Been looking for a new torx socket set with the T27 included and can't seem to find much. Preference has always been for Craftsman hand tools, but the only set I've found so far that includes the T27 is $150.

I know I can get the standard 7 pc set and order the T27 separately, but was hoping there was a better option. Any ideas?

places like autozone or Lowes you can find sockets individually. Try there

T27 is a PITA to find.

I had to get one for a job on my car, I had to special order the damn thing, no set came with it, and no one carried just a T27 local.

I have two sets. One is from Harbor Freight,the other from Northern Tool. Both sets were cheap,but the set from NT,is the nicest. Don't waste your money on Craftsman set,these are just as good.

I just picked up a set w/T-27 at Autozone, man does it come in handy.

Your autozone must be better than mine, back about a year ago mine didn't have much at all in the way of Torx sets.

"I know I can get the standard 7 pc set and order the T27 separately..."

The local OSH had the Craftsman T27 in stock so it wasn't too much of a hassle for me, but you gotta wonder what the MoCo was thinking when it used that size screw in the first place....

Sears Hardware had a set including t-27 for 32.99. It was an off brand, but works fine. It is even cheaper here: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00946345000P?prdNo=3&blockNo=3&block Type=G3

Amazon has it for $20.99 and if you have amazon Prime (which I do) you get it with two day shipping for free.
