Which Is The Best Torx Bit Brand?

Project Farm tests Torx bits from Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Wera, Wiha, Irwin, Bosch, MasterForce, Bauer, Hercules, and Ryobi.

Each Torx bit (sometimes called Star bit) drives in and then removes 100 screws into pressure-treated 4x4s. New and used Torx bits are tested for failure load torque, as well as wear resistance.
