Review on Craftsman 7-Piece Evolv Torx Bit Socket Set: 9-01005 - The Ultimate Tool for Torx Applications! by Andrew Schreider

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The high-quality, hardened, high-impact T-Series bits are the only durable T-bits, but you pay a lot more for them.

Torque bits (also called star bits) are very prone to breakage. Welding the driver's side floor pan while removing the seat belts, I broke some old T50 oxide. Now I can say that the Craftsman Chrome models are a mid-range set at a reasonable price. UPDATE - A year after this Craftsman T 50 set crashed on 5th or 6th use with a 1ft pole. They're not terrible heads, but big T-series bolts are generally a bad idea. Cheap drum bits don't get any better (much worse) than this chrome plated set.

Pros
  • For use with 3/8" ratchet
Cons
  • Drive socket required
