I have a Bondhus T handle hex set as well as a regular set of Allen keys. They are very tough tools. I agree with the over torque thing. A few times I was waiting for the snap of broken, hard steel but it never happened.
They are worth the money.

I am a machinist by trade. Bondus makes very good tools. The kind you can use every day, and will last for years.

Bondhus. Spell checker kept changing it to Hinduism.
I had to get out the Torx driver set to fix the motor on my wood splitter,,
is a 12 ton wood splitter adequate for straightening a bent Torx driver??
I may need to update the type of oil I use in that splitter to get more tonnage.
I saw an article that using chainsaw oil in a splitter's hydraulic system, the tonnage will increase,,
is that enough additional tonnage to straighten my Torx??
My spellchecker kept changing it to this,,,

So,, I deleted the ENTIRE post so as to not get arrested,,,
Oh no, not an , oil thread!

Everything finally arrived. My driver bits were a mixed bag and spread out all over so I decided to get a proper set along with 2 different drivers. This kit is what I came up with. Everything fits in the box but the ratcheting T-Handle driver.
Where did u order the Ajax torx set from? I’m in Canada and can only find them from Australia.

Am I the only one who shy’s away from impact drivers on small engine stuff. I got a few options for torx drivers got 2 of them fold out multi things tha have been with me for a while. then I had 5 ts350’s to work on I ordered a t handle t27 from farmertec but it took forever to get here so I was out and about stopped by home hardware and they had nice torx screw drivers with hex shanks you can put a wrench on I have used that on everything Stihl since and it hasn’t been and issue.
Lots of us use them because they make the process so much more efficient and less mind numbing. I can’t stand turning wrenches unless I’m doing the final setting with a torque wrench. Once you’ve used one, you won’t go back. It’s important to seperate impact wrench and impact driver too.
I won’t use an impact wrench on small engines. Even my m12 Milwaukee hits so hard it will increase the risk of snapping the smaller fasteners if they are a little stuck. That or it will increase the chances of damaging the driver bit heads.
Impact driver hits much lighter and more often. Impact wrench hits way harder per strike and less frequently.
If a nut or bolt on a small engine won’t come off with the Milwaukee m12 impact driver, the answer isn’t the wrench unless you want to damage it. A little heat and some 50:50 aceton / atf and a socket and wrench is the answer.
The impact wrench comes into its own on 3/8 nuts and bolts. 8mm - 21mm on things like lawn mowers, cars, small vans etc.
I have a set of 1/2" drive neiko impact sockets, the steel is too soft. Let us know how they hold up over time with use.

I've rebuilt decking, and these bits are wear items, cheap to replace.

I’m lucky if I even get a whole deck or fence out of a bit I either drop them out of a punch or strip them out. of course I’m a Canuck so no torx here #2 Robbie is the standard

Last time I did a deck I went thru a half dozen Bosch Phillips #2s
Philips just don’t last do they..

I wasn't complaining. Had to remove and drive in at least 1000 screws. I was shocked when I had to buy the second giant box of screws.

I just use the Stihl T27 scrench when I’m working on something with T27 bolts. I didn’t really like Torx bolts at first, but now that I have the proper Torx bits, I’d wish all manufacturers would just use Torx bolts for assembly
Phillips head screws are the curse of all time Robertson are better by far the main reason the USA never went with them was Henry Ford vetoed them because they were a Canadian product.
