Source for Torx Wrenches

After screwing around for two hours removing two Torx bolts holding the transmission housing on a 1988 Jeep (had to use 2.5 of extensions and a Torx socket from the rear of vehicle!) from the engine, I decided I really NEED a set of Torx wrenches.

Can anyone recommend sourcing for high quality tools? (other than Snap On ...)

Thanks!

Lisle Tools makes a good set. They are sold at Pep Boys and Car Quest - the 2 auto parts stores that I know to carry them.

Their WEB site is posted below.

They also make all sorts of interesting $10 - $30 specialty tools that can come in handy.

I've been happy with every Lisle tool I've ever bought. Not fancy but well thought out, strong, and fairly priced. Only complaint: I wish they had more oriented towards M-B.

Torx Tools

If you are looking for quality tools I would recommend S&K. Most good tool places will carry them, all lifetime guarantee.
