Reviews Summary
The TORX® BITS have received mixed reviews from customers. While some appreciate the variety and fit of the bits, many report quality issues due to the bits being made of soft material that easily strips or breaks under torque. Shipping costs and warranty were mentioned, but durability is the most concerning aspect for many users.

Torque driver bits
These bits work great with the fix it sticks torque drivers.

Nice
Finally had a hole set in stock. Exactly what I was looking for. Tiny ones that are stout are hard to find.

I like the lifetime warranty on the Torx bits. The shipping costs are extremely high, though.

Surprising how many different sizes
It is surprising how many different sizes of screw heads (flat, phillip, torx, or allen) are needed to work on all the accessories that are sold for folks to dress up their purchases.

Soft Bit Because It Is Supposed To Be
I am writing this review while buying another bit because I wore one out. But it is not a bad thing. Being in a hurry, I accidentally used too small of a torx bit on a pair of scope rings. Luckily these bits are made out of soft metal, or else I would have damaged a customer's screws while he was in the store. These bits are designed to fit perfect and are designed soft so they will do no damage to a firearm. Overall, this is a good product as long as you use it as designed.

T-10, Stupid brittle
Two stars, since this review will be seen for more products than the exact one I have problems with. T-10: Crazy brittle. I know that several reviewers have said they're incredibly soft and like to deform and strip quickly. But I've had two of the "Brownell's" T-10 bits, and both snapped at very low torque. I'll be sourcing from elsewhere from now on. But I have had no problems at all with the "Brownell's" T-15 and T-20 bits.

Soft Torx bits
The bits are of inferior quality. They are of very soft construction, which means they don't mar the gun, but they will twist off at 15 in/lb. and then you have a problem with the torx head inside the screw!

soft duty
used mostly for optic mounting, I have found the metal in these bits to be of inferior quality. They are very soft and the "teeth" of the bits have stripped at under 15 inch pounds (with no damage to the screw heads).
