I notice in a lot of the DIY people make mention of the different Torx tools that are used can someone tell what's a good set of Torx tools to have to do some work under the hood when I encounter some problem or maintenance thing I might want to fix on my 530I 06.

Thank you

 

Either get a set from Sears, Craftsman is always good because if it ever breaks you can take it back to ANY Sears and get a replacement. Or I got a little set from Autozone for about $8 and it worked fine for replacing Angle Eye bulbs, and foglights as well as all the screws for the grilles and such.

 

I've recently purchased sets made by Sealey but I don't know if they are sold in the USA.I have also found it necessary to have both "male" and "female" sets to cover the variety of fixings on modern cars.

 

What are the popular sizes of torx used?

 

Thank you for the information Pjinca and Tooltec you all made a good point on having both male and female sets and the sears craftsmen tool you can always take them back if they break

 

I bought a set of Gearwrench Torx bits that I've been pleased with. They also offer a lifetime warranty.

 

Sears sells a nice set of craftsman that covers, torx male, torx female and hex head sockets, all in 1 kit. It's approx $75-$80.
