I feel like Snap on kinda ripped me off on this set.

Looks like some wrenches that we refered to as "Bristol Wrenches" I used them in my Aircraft Manufacturing days and these wrenches were used on aircraft instrument knobs. They were all real small, under a 1/16" diameter.

You not only put food on the table for one family but for about 3 more families,which is a good thing.

get the cornwell set. you will not be disappointed because you practically have every torx you will use.

torx plus is not necessary but is an add on

I am a snap-on fan, however those bits are ridiculously overpriced. OTC has a nice complete set for $150.00

Reading this thread, makes me really want to go buy this Snap-on 5-lobe set. I don't care about the price, i want them. Just can't afford them..

I have a Snap-on set of Torx Plus (6-lobe) with one missing, $85 from eBay.

wiha has a nice 5 lobe tamper resistant set for like $20 or $30 made in Germany...

Here a 30$ set from Genius works great.

There is a WIHA set, seem that WIHA sells it only to "authorized" customers...who cares...ebay does everything and taiwan too.

+1. I have the Cornwell regular torx and they are imports. They're fine for me as a DYI, but if I was a pro, I'd buy the Snap-ons at the higher price point.

That's what it comes down to.

I don't know about tamper proof torx, but when it comes to allen sockets, SO has the rest beat, hands down. I have some SO, Mac, and Matco ones. The Mac and Matco ones are either soft, or brittle, the SO ones are nearly indestuctable.
