I've been needing to change the clip on my blur so I stopped by a local Ace and they had a 6 piece set from T5 to T10 with lifetime warranty for 13.00. Thought I'd tell anyone who needs a set in those sizes like me.
 
I get mine from Lowes $5 . I love it

T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10, T15

I've got a set from Eklind on the way, hopefully they're as good as the reviews say. I've ruined a bunch of cheaper torx in the past. If these don't work out I'll try my local ACE
 
I have broken more torx than knives!

Broke the Lowe's set in about 48hrs. Bought a cheap noname set from Marshall's 24hrs or less. Craftsman set is three or four month's old and still alive! (whew.)
 
I go through the Lowes set about every 6 months..just swap it for a new one under warranty before the bits start rounding and I'm good to go.
 
I've been contemplating the Benchmade tool thing with the hex and torx bits. Anybody have any experience with one?
Is this link kosher? If not I'll edit it out.
 
I got one at home depot and its stripped out now, going to grind it down 1/16" and it will last another 6 months. Next im buying a nice set. Is the Kershaw tool good quality?
 
The bench made tool is ok, rather bulky and hard to handle but functions. Best t6 i have is snap on, had it two years now.... Never broken or rounded, best thing i have found
 
I don't recommend the Kobalt one from lowes.

Home depot's Husky brand are 10x better, they last a lot longer.

(PS I use microprecision tools for work every day, over 5 years in my business business)
 
Its more convenience then quality for me at the moment...Lowes 2 miles away.....home depot 35 mins away on the way to nothing lol..I'll check it out next time I'm near one.
 
I've got the Husky one, no complaints after 2 years of use. Fits in my bag right next to my pens.
 
The Benchmade Bluebox works just fine, even though it loosens up over time and bits can get lost if you're not careful.
I prefer the Benchmade black bag with the hex/flathead and torx/phillips on either side. (the built in sharpener is kinda blah though)
Has anyone used the Boker tool before? It has drawn my attention before.
