Recommend THE BEST (toughest) Torx screwdriver set?

[Mako109]

Finally ruined my budget Husky set. They lasted a good long while but several bits met their demise after encountering stubborn Red Loctite.

I'm ready to spend money for a high quality set. What you the experts recommend?

Whia

Bondhus
PB Swiss
Klein

I have the Whia Stubby (1/4)and Pen Tool (micro bits) that handles most jobs. My dad owned gas stations and auto repair shops ...so I also have individual drivers from Kal Tool , Snap on, Proto, Xcelite, and Klein. If money is not an issue ....I would get a Whia combination (multiple bits in 1 unit) driver and a set of individual pieces for maximum strength , Leverage, And torque.

These tools are just like our knife blades. Usually the more expensive ones use the best steel and heat treat!

Wiha and Wera have the best reputation and are probably the best you'll find within reason.

I'm coming to that conclusion too. Thanks much for your reply!

I'd stay away from Klein. Their pliers are good, screwdrivers are overpriced junk.

I'd go with wiha or wera.

I would say Wiha. The 5 bit set is about $1.25 per bit.

Completely agree! I own roughly 8K to 10K worth of Snap-On and Mac tools. I know this is a thread about Torx bits & drivers, but since pliers were brought up, I highly recommend Knipex pliers for anyone in the market for new pliers! Even our Snap-On and Mac distributors around here keep Knipex pliers on their trucks!

Oh, I own Wiha Torx bits, very happy with them!

I usually recommend the Husky set...I have two and haven't killed them yet but when that happens I'm going with Wiha.

Knipex FTW!

If you are a tool guy or do trades work you SHOULD have their "pliers wrench" in a few sizes. Their tools are the ****. I think they also use powder/ particle steels. :D

Knipex pliers, great to know. Thank you for all of your recommendations!

Home Depot carries Knipex.

Wiha are great. I've had good luck with Bondhus as well.

[murphjd25]

When I finally killed my Husky set I went with Wiha. They have been absolutely great.

[TomAiello]

I destroyed my Wiha set, actually.

PB Swiss has given me the best service.

I'm an electrician and when I got in the trade I was told to get Klein. It's what everyone used. My linemans wore out in 3 years and I didn't even use them too hard, the screwdrivers are soft and their diagonal cutters are a crap shoot to see if you get a correctly aligned set of Jaws. Oh and the break in... Lol.

I now use knipex linemans, cobra and alligator pliers, pliers wrenches, and wire shears. The best thing is they aren't stiff out of the box. Picquic screwdrivers are the bees knees, and Channellock makes a mean pair of diagonal cutters. I do have some Klein stuff (6 in 1 nut driver) that I use at work, but my warranted linemans and cutters are at home in my backup bag. I do enjoy their hybrid pliers though... All you need to do stuff around the house are the hybrid pliers and a screwdriver!

German tools rock!

Ordered this kit today and by coincidence YouTube knife reviewer, Nick Shabazz, posted the same kit on his IG account. Hope I made the right decision. It's definitely an overdue step up from my current tools. I'm about as excited over this as I usually am over a new knife. Comments and criticisms are welcomed as I can always return it. Thanks all for your help!

[Bloke]

I think you’ll be very happy. :)

[soc_monki]

Wiha is good stuff! I'll probably pick that up myself when I wear out my cheap drivers.
