| Sep 1, 2020 at 18:45 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 That's surprising. The T-sizes overlap so closely that I just use a T20 to drive T25 screws... | |
| Sep 1, 2020 at 14:50 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | @Harper-ReinstateMonica - I believe the issue was his T20 bit was too big and the T15 was too small. | |
| Sep 1, 2020 at 14:49 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | @SolarMike - And I'm using both the "good money" tools and the cheap tools I bought over the last 35 years. Tools don't have to be expensive to work well, they just have to work well. | |

| Sep 1, 2020 at 13:10 | comment | added | Solar Mike | @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 and I am still using quality tools I purchased over 40 years ago - paid good money for them: a good investment. | |
| Sep 1, 2020 at 13:08 | comment | added | Solar Mike | @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 no, I was stating a fact, cheap tools break, or worse round off fasteners making subsequent work much harder and/or more expensive. Mind you those “monday morning” jobs were always lucrative, sorting the errors made by weekend “mechanics”... | |

| Sep 1, 2020 at 12:32 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Buy cheap tools = use once (or not even) then throw away, why serious users spend good money on good tools. | |
| Sep 1, 2020 at 12:25 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | A regular Torx bit is a Torx bit (obvious exception of the safety/security version, which you rarely run into ... this has a small pin in the center). There aren't ones made for vehicles versus a bike, or what have you. If the fastener you are looking to remove uses a Torx bit, any make of Torx bit should work. | |
