I have used both Craftsman and Kobalt with out having any failures or noticeable wear. EXCEPT (of course) I did round over/damage/ruin a small, T10, screwdriver type by forcing it. Never had a "bit" type fail. These manufacturers sets are priced affordable and "lifetime" warranty. (Used Craftsman a few times over the years, Stanley is standing behind Sears made tools so far, and never used Kolbalt warranty).

All my torx stuff is from:

I was shown the way to this outfit here in the forum by other members. Really good stuff with a price point about mid-way between those two.

A bit of a tool junkie, I'll agree that Wiha and Wera are great options. I've found Chad's Toolbox at www.chadstoolbox.com/ to have great pricing on quality tools.
Personal experience...
Get the Snapon.
I have purchased many multiple Tox bits and other fancy type bits from HF and have broken every one.
The worst was a bolt on the side of an engine that I had to take a torch to to get it out because the metal twisted then broke, lodged in the bolt.
The metal is a lower quality.
Remember that the tool is designed to fail before the bolt is. But the stuff from HF has been a huge disappointment.

Lislie makes a perfect set. It has everything you need, even the hard to find 27, all the way up to the 60. Price point is perfect. In 10 years, I have never broken one, they are 1 piece.

I really like the wera tool sets. Very well designed and high quality. You can get very good deals if you use the German amazon site. Even after shipping the cost can be considerable lower that the prices in the US. The shipping is also pretty fast. You can switch the German site to English to help you. I learned that after I purchases a nice imperial ratchet set thinking it was metric.
I'd like to second the vote for Wera.

Let's me do a lot around the bike, it's only the larger Torx for exhaust or frame I'd need to still Werafy

I've got a tool kit from https://www.advdesigns.com/motoki1.html. Their tools are expensive but of good quality.
