As in what brand of wrenches for the tiny Torx wrenches? T10, T8 and T6 I think are the most common.

I just want some that are tough and won't were out, or especially with the really small ones, bend or twist.

Any suggesttions?
 
HomeDepot and now Lowes carry a small screwdriver with interchangable bits.
They seem to be of good quality, but you will use the T-6 more than the others and it will wearout faster. These screwdrivers are priced ~6.00 and I have used (2) for about (1) year. When the bit wears, you can grind a little (the worn part) off and bring it back to life.

Hope this helps. *want to add, I use mine quite often and for the average user they should last a long time.

Get a master screwdriver set and throw every other screwdriver you ever owned in the trash, where they belong.
 
I will add to my 1st. post: "or take the advice of a person who knows what a good set of tools are like Gringogunsmith!":thumbup:
 
I have to sets, and I just went with the first complete set I can get my hands on. It is Husky brand.
 
I like the Wiha brand for small tools. They seem to be available in lots of stores, including some home centers and hardware stores.

Check Micro-Tools link below for small torx drivers. They have sets and individual drivers in both screwdriver-shaped and L-shaped formats.

I have a Gorilla Grip folding Torx wrench set. It isn't the best out there, but it gets the job done and it's small enough to throw it in a bag when I travel (you never know when you need to adjust the knives). It goes from T6 to T25, although I only need the T6 and T10 for my Grip, it's nice to have the other sizes especially with Torx becoming more popular.
 
You won't be dissapointed in the quality of the Wiha tools. I would recomend them over just about any other torx drivers.

Another vote for Wiha, and I'll through in Facom and Knipex for other tools besides torx bits.

Brownells has some good stuff, too.
