RE: Torx
Make sure the set includes a T-27. Many sets do not and you have to buy it separately.

I tried the Lisle brand to save a few bucks.
After twisting two of them off, I switched to Sears Craftsman and have not had a repeat of the problem.

RE: Torx
Don't buy cheap ones. You'll twist them off and end up buying new ones anyways. Take the Craftsman advice. Don't ask me how I know![:@]

RE: Torx
I also like the Craftsman Torx. I've broken 2 of them and both times Sears replaced the entire set for free.

RE: Torx
My big set of Vermont American screwdriver bits included the ones I need so far - they fit in a 1/4" socket, so I can use a ratchet or screwdriver with them. So, check your screwdriver bit set. Never thought I'd use the things...

RE: Torx
You'll also need a set of hex sockets as well.
And ditto on making sure the torx has T-27, it's quite common on our bikes, and not so common in torx sets.

RE: Torx
What should I expect to pay for the craftsmans Torx, the Lisle are guaranteed same as Craftsman.
I also heard that the progressive Torx are the way to go, SK makes them I supose Mac and Snap On also. SK $98.00
Lisle $35.00

RE: Torx
I would stay away from lisle. I bought a T-27 from then and it was ****. It was more like a T-25 and was just ready to strip bolts.
