Sears has the 12 piece Lisle torx sockets on sale 1/2 price. $15 IIRR. These are high quality sockets that won't strip or twist (within reason of course).

 

I have that set. Good price

 

Some say they're not good quality but I've been using my set for the last two years w/o a problem. I think the reason alot of guys have problems with torx is that they either use the wrong size or they fail to seat the tool properly.

 

yeh, it's really easy to use the wrong size if yer not carefull

 

I twisted a couple Lisles when working my Jeep.
Since then I bought a set of Craftsman and Snap-On.

 

Don't have too many sears wrenches. Just never got into sears things. Tried a couple times but me and the local mngmnt just didnt get along. nice enough people. we just talked different languages.

 

Twisted the end of a T-27 Lisle. Never bought another.

 

yeppers.. they had the same thing last yr when I got them.... they work really good..

 

I twisted both the 27 and a 45 the first time I used them. And yes, those were the appropriate sizes in both cases. I think it is a combination of low quality and f@#%ing moronic design. I hate the torx almost as much as I hate the IRS.
