Title: anyone know where i can get a set of Torx wrenches?
Post by: Hoagie_one on October 04, 2004, 10:59:59 am
for a good price.  Id prefer them all on a key like you see some allen wrench sets.

Need size T5 and up?

Thanks

I bought my set from radioshack - has a screwdriver handle along with like 16 bits, including all the small torx bits.  Great set that I do use alot, but I think I paid something like $14 for it...

Sears has an all in one set that matches their allen wrench set. Plus if you ever break or strip one of them Sears will always replace it free of charge. This is really good since both torx and allen wrenches can strip if too much pressure is exerted on them. Are you sure you want the regular ones or do you want the tamper proof ones that are used for disassembling/assembling arcade controls? Sears doesn't carry the tamper proof ones but you can get them from Bob Roberts or Ebay as well as most arcade part distributers ie Happ,Wico and Marco Specialties.

Um...I got a set of the tamper proof ones from Sears about two weeks ago. They definately carry them, they're just usually sold out.

Dammit, I've been to three Sears's and none of them had em. >:( And of course the Sears sales geniuses had no idea what I was talking about. ::) I ended up getting them on Ebay but I would rather have had them from Sears.

I boiught a set of security torx from Sears.com, to pick up a store.  That way no trip if not in stock.  Received my confirmation email, going to pick them up later.

 Item Number : 00925702000
 Item Name : 6 pc. Bit Set, Torx® Security

I hear ya, after I got mine, my dad wanted a set and went to sears. when he got there the there the rack for them was empty so he asked one of the sales floor guys if they had any in the back and the guy just stared at the empty rack for about two minutes (no exageration!) and then declared,"We're out of it!"
