OK, first, WHY DO THEY USE TORX IN HIGH TORQUE APPLICATIONS?
These are the WORST fasteners I have ever used. (less flat blade
screwdrivers.)
Then, if they are going to use them, why can't they make a Torx impact
socket set that doesn't twist and brake the first time you use it?
OK, with that off my chest...
What is the THE BRAND/SET of torx impact sockets that I can rely on? At
this point, price isn't really an issue. I just want a set that I can use
in an impact gun and remove a bolt without breaking every time. I would
want a complete set of sizes, but it seems that I always break the T40
first (it seems to be the most common size.)
FWIW, my first real injury while turning wrenches was with a Torx over 25
years ago. I was trying to remove a brake component off of a Lumina and
the bit broke, and the wrench chipped my tooth.
TO THIS DAY, whenever I have to reach for a torx socket, I still taste
that broken tooth! And, I have not found a set of torx that are worth a
darn.
So, please help me. What set do I need?
Thanks.
Moose.
