agreee that the lifetime warrenty and ease of replacement when needed is the key. I have had good luck with craftsman and even some harbor freights, also have had problems with them and other brands seems more luck of the draw, lifetime warrenty and a few extras so you dont have to quit qorking when one breaks

+1 on the Craftsman for overall price/performance/Guarantee. Be careful with both Lowes and Homey Depot, they have both good and bad. You can tell be the price and country of origin. I've had them break simply loosening the clutch lever assembly.

thats the key to torx bits.. a lifetime warranty and ease of exchanging them. due to their design they are prone to twisting and chipping. i wouldn't pay snap -on prices for a set of bits as much as you would use them.. hell i won't pay their prices and i use torx bits just about every day.. lol..
a HD set or Sears set should be just fine for ya.. even Lowes has a decent Kobalt set for $25 with lifetime warranty..

Kobalt dont have a tool truck but they are much cheaper.

maybe i got a bad set from Sears a few years ago, but the Kobalt ones were better...
i ended up comparing them with a microscope, and couldnt believe the poor quality of the Craftsman torx...

Go GearWrench
I picked up some from Lowes and they rounded awfully easy. Picked up some GearWrench off e-Bay. Very pleased. I've since purchased other GearWrench tools, such as ratcheting wrenches, torque wrenches and torx bits. Very happy with build quality.
