The blue box tool kit

$10 is good considering what you get. My T-6 bits only broke after 3 years of use...it's handy.
 
I found a WIHA set for about $5 more and was glad I got it. The Blue Box bits are a bit soft, sometimes. My T-6 was stretched tightening a clip screw. There's a reason they give you 2 of each size bit in the box. But, for $10, you won't be out too much. Another thing to consider is the Husky bit set (stores inside the handle) from Home Depot. That included six (or 8?) Torx sizes and covers a wider range of knives. I had to buy the Husky to work on the clip and handle screws on a William Henry knife.
 
I found the Blue Box fairly useless. Bits are way too soft (or at least they were a couple of years ago on mine.) I got it free, so the price was about right. :D

The Husky 8-in-1 works much better. Costs about $6 at Home Depot or Lowes (branded Kobalt at Lowes). Removed a very stubborn torx screw that had resisted every other one I had.

Wiha seems to get the highest ratings, though they are a good deal more expensive.....but likely well worth it.
A Wiha set for $5 is a steal!
 
I picked up a Wiha set of Torx awhile back after my husky T6 bit twisted. Haven't looked back since. I highly recommend the Wiha.
