Imagine the hole wasn’t there my opinion is still the same. Low torque driver tools.

I don’t know where he wrote he was using a socket.I don't know how much abuse you are giving the sockets but it sounds like they are not what they are supposed to be.
I’m not convinced he’s smashing sockets.
You can get those bits in size T40 and you can make them fit in a 3/8 drive socket.
Most decent ones would be chrome vanadium steel which is tough enough to take some torque and the ones that fit in the sockets are just replaceable inserts on most quality makes... As above, they areSounds like the individual bits possibly mounted in a socket.
Don’t know if screwdriver bits are any different from those permanently mounted in a socket? There must be some difference in strength durability etc

What are you working on Ashley? I hate undoing Torx on car suspension and brakes, there’s always the anticipation of the head rounding off or bit snapping.

I know exactly what you mean about the transit brake situation!Only time I struggle is transit front brakes.
I just have the cheap bergen 1/2 set and has taken proper abuse
BMW oneWas it a ford focus or similar ball joint @Ashley Burton
If so i find it usually easier to snap them then drift or with chisel and replace with fresh if can get to both side's.
If threaded into the hub then it can be fun and games.
Ah, it's not just me then.
