Can you reccomend me a quality torx bit kit for knives?

[sogflash]

I need to get some high quality torx bits to use on my knives. The sizes I know I need is T6, T8 and T10. It wont bother me if I just buy a bit kit with more than those three sizes.

Do you know of any high quality brands that make what I need?

Wiha. They are spendy, but worth every penny.

Benchmade has exactly what you are looking for.

I have been using the same set for many years. They are very good quality, IMHO.

My advice would be to either get two, or another driver that accepts the bits, because it often takes two for removing thumbstuds.

The Benchmade set does come with two of each, T-6, T-8 and T-10.

I've been using this little guy for years. All the extra bits are stored in the handle, and I've cranked on it pretty hard without it breaking. And at 6 bucks, you can't beat it IMHO.

I have a Wiha set on my Christmas list. They have some sets that are reasonably priced, even if they are a lot higher than the low priced sets from HomeDepot or Lowes.

I tossed my Benchmade bits cuz they distorted badly w/ hard use, bought Wihas-- love 'em.

The home depot Husky brand for $5 is of good enough quality. Plus its unlimited lifetime warranty. Just bring it back once they are threaded for a new set. No need to spend much more than that.

William Hahn makes the best, I have several sets that I use every day with power drivers and hand drivers. I have had them for 7 years and have only distorted one of them because I was using it as a punch. The problem with cheap sets is that they are made out of spec and they will strip your fasteners. The Wiha sets are exact and fit the fastener perfectly.

These work fine for me.

It seems that each kit has one or two things the others don't. With these 3, i have been able to do everything i have needed.

I second this recommendation. You can buy individual bits, drivers, or large/small sets. Wiha bits are harder and have much closer tolerances that lower-end bits. You are much less likely to cam-out or damage your screws with Wiha. They are just a joy to use - solid as a rock and they last forever...

I've been using this one for three years and have zero complaints:

Cheap and effective. Can't really see the advantages a more expensive set would give me. I'd rather spend the money on knives

I found this Wiha 36392 set and asked for one for Christmas. It is a good set for knives, costs about $15 on the net, and even gives you two torx ends in each size.

these work just fine:

These sound good to me. Twice as many for the price of one!
