I could really use a full range of Torx bits for scope mounting and general use on firearms. I would really prefer a bit set so i can use them in a torque wrench, so I'm not really interested in full sized individual drivers.

I thought about getting a basic set from Brownells but what i was looking at had gotten horrible reviews.

I know a lot of the smaller bits are prone to bending or snapping off without applying much force.

I've also looked at cheap Chinese stuff on eBay and Amazon.

Can anyone recommend a decent set that has held up for them in their own personal experience?

I'm not worried about price, cheap or expensive is fine. I'll be careful not to over tighten anything, but sometimes they can break just from trying to get a factory screw loose! I just don't want to have to worry about replacing a bit everytime i use one.

Thank you.
