Anyone recommend a torx bit socket set and where to get a set from ? To fit the omega's star head screws ect :-\
-
Worth investing in the Halfords 150 set when it's on offer, all in one set for Omega really. Covers 90% of jobs :y

How much is the set when on offer tunnie ?
Ive got a 6 piece set that fits onto a socket but the star bits just dont seem to quite fit the heads on any of the Omega bolt heads correctly :(

On offer now bud

A very good bit of kit for the price and a limited lifetime warranty if you keep the receipt :y
-
At the very least, they do a rail of torx sockets in 3/8, ideal for most jobs :y
-
Nearly allows half price now for a one'r, if you sign up for Halfords email Offer alerts, sometimes comes out at £89 online, or a few times a month they send an 12pm to 2pm today only 10% off everything online, but you need to on the ball for that one as they normally email about 10 mins before it happens. ;)
Other way is to buy the Morrisons / Halfords £100 voucher and then get fair wack off your next fuel fill up at Morri's. ;)

I bought a smaller torx set for about £6 delivered. :y

+ 1 :y . . . they were only cheap but seem to work very well . . had them well over a year now ;) ;)

Wait till you go to billing, the tool man should be there, and a torx rail be about £8.00 :y
-
Rather than the 150pc set, if you can tolerate the weight, I'd recommend the 200pc set. More complete, pretty much answers all my complaints with the later 150pc and 170pc sets. Major downside is weight. Only other gripe is the spanners aren't combo spanners, but ratchet ones.
Mine was £120 trade, and I think worth every single penny.

Ah yes forgot about the trade stands :y
Are Torx the same as Star bit sets ? Do they all do the same job :-\
-
Torx is a trade name. Hence the copies cannot be called torx

If I can find space, worth me throwing in the 200pc set for you to have a gander at?

Buy branded, as cheap shite will round off the edges, then you're screwed.
The Halfords Advanced ones are very good. Clarke Pro are pretty good, and slightly better value.

Taking that star head bolt out of the brake drum was a pain a few weeks back , incorrect size meant it just rounded off the star on the bolt >:( Simple job but without the correct star bit its fist shaking time and mucho swearing ::)

Which bolt? Not torx on rear brakes, is there?

The retaining bolt that holds the drum in place or is it allen key :-[ so rounded off couldnt really tell :-\
