Tortz Bits
What's up to the group? I've been reading all of the good info in this group for a year or so and I thought that I would share this with all. Long story short I have been given premission from the boss to make the move back to riding so I have been doing a lot of research hence reading the fourm. T bits I was in Sears today since I'm a Craftsman fan and remembered the thread about T Bits. Here is a deal seven peice t set $39.00 Sears sells a off brand Evolv same warenty as Craftsman $9 just save the receipt lifetime replacement. I hope this helps out, I plan on riding by the spring be safe!

I'm sure tool manuf. are like bike manuf. everyone has their own loyalties. For the most part I too buy craftsman, but wouldn't mind some Snap-on sets either, i just don't happen to have huge piles of money with which to purchase them! 
Having said that, i have a set of T-handle Torx bits from Craftsman that were about $35 that work extremely well for the stuff i need them for on the bike.

Just a little warning, a Torx bit should break before it twist. If the material is soft enough to twist or the fingers become damaged, you WILL strip the screws. Cheep tools are fine. But when dealing with torx, the bits must be hardened. Don't become a victim of the striped torx syndrome. The bit should shatter when over stressed, not twist or deform.

Well said. Those bits, expcially #27, are really hard to find in the hardened steel and they usually cost at least $5 or more per bit, but they are worth it. Grab the #27 when you see it because they are rare unless you mail order.
