Can anyone recommend me a set of t handle torx keys that aren't made of cheese?

Unior is worth a look, but think you can only by by size rather than a set.

The Clark ones I have at home are probably better at anything else than actually used for torx bolts

I got a Draper Expert set from eBay for £27 from Bamford_Trading. They aren't made of cheese.

Facom powerkeys have been the best that i've used in the workshop, their hex keys are good as well, far better to use than T-handles too.
Edit-avoid Britool, they look similar but tips crack off (even on the larger sizes) regularly, and expensively.

I got a set from Lidl for £9.99 and they've been brilliant.

Got a Snap On set off eBay a few years ago, they're magnetic & utterly brilliant!
No more knackered torx fasteners & no scrabbling around the shed floor looking for them.
Not cheap, but quality seldom is, Teng, Beta & Facom also very good

Cheers folks. I have some Teng Hex keys so am tempted to stick with them for Torx as well based on a few recommends.

Another vote for SnapOn, given mine some welly over the years as well, no issues.

The 2 sets ive seen / used are terrible. Slack in all fittings torx or torx plus

I went for wera torx , far superior fitting than cheap keys.

They also do torx plus if you have those fittings , indicated by a good quality torx key being slack, shimano chainring bolts being a prime example,
