Five years ago I bought this set on eBay. Here it is on Amazon for $18.
https://www.amazon.com/17pc-Precision-S ... =hi&sr=1-9

One thing I like about it is that it fits in one of the pockets on my Spyderpac knife roll.
In addition to torx it has many other additional bits that may be needed.

This is the one I have. I use it with a ratchet driver with a big ball-shaped handle that I've had since I was a kid.

Wiha are one of the gold standards but I use a much cheaper Husky set and have only stripped one screw with them and it is loaded with thread locker.

I don't think this exact model is made anymore, they've tweaked the handle shape but they still sell a similar setup.

If you wanna spend the cash definitely go with Wiha though. This set was like $6 and has worked great for me.

^ t6, t8, t10 should do the trick.

I will echo others here.. Wiha are probably the best I've used. I've been really impressed with Bondhus too.

I actually just use the cheapo $5 hypertech (hypertough?) set from Walmart. Works fine.
