Guns.... Lots of guns and optic mounts use torx bits.... I've stripped far too many small torx bits so now I'm here... Thank you for testing!

Really cool! I especially liked the diagrams for comparison. Also cool, that you showed the force that breaks them. Unfortunatly most of the brands are not common around here, but anyway great test! Thank you! Greetings from Vienna/Austria/Europe.

Another awesome video! Thanks Chris

FANTASTIC video. I was looking to mass purchase some t25 bits and this video helped out a lot. Concise, easy to follow, great narration, very informative. Earned my sub. I have been using the Milwaukee t25s driving primarily 2.5"-3.5" grks into wood and they work great, like you said the fit is snug which helps a lot starting a longer screw.

I use a lot of Montana bits and in my opinion they don't wear much and last longer over my Dewalt and Hitachi bits. The Hitachi bits also last and have great fitment. (also sold at Menards)

I have had amazing results with the Makita XPS bits as well my top 2 favorite bits are defenitly Milwaukee Shockwave and the makita XPS bits i have done over 58 projects so far with the makita XPS bit torx 25 and its still holding up great on large projects @ClientGraphics

Why no Makita XPS? The gold bits are now somewhat obsolete.

Thank Chris, I am partial to the Irwin bits but have used many different brands.

as a carpenter, i have broke 3 dewalt bits screwing into concrete (approx 5 years old) with blue 6in masonry screws in one day.... but have never broken a Milwaukee bit to this day

Great information on the trox bits I've had good luck with my DeWalt bits I'm not going to change mainly because I can get the DeWalt line easy at my local lowes but I'm not afraid to try the others now

Honestly, I have not found a difference in strength between Makita and Milwaukee but I tend to agree with your assessment the Milwaukee is possibly one of the strongest.

Nice testing. .

My favorite bit now days is the Milwaukee Shockwave torx bits they have held up the most with 1 bit lasting me well over 68 large projects before i needed to grab another one out of my box @ClientGraphics

You know how I feel about the DeWalt hand tools and accessories... I always use them... and they never let me down Good to see that you are using Menards products in your videos... a lot of people on KZread disregard Menards but they are a viable option just like Lowe's and Home Depot... Just to put it in perspective....the difference in foot pounds from the highest rated Torx bit to the lowest Torx bit is about three and a half foot pounds.... so they're all generally as strong as one another... wear might be a different thing... one thing that does remain constant though is using the to right tool and accessory the right way.... that's how you get the greatest longevity out of your bits and tools....

I got a hundred piece bit set for cheap and of course the smaller torx and allen wore down quickly. Went to True Value, got some expensive Irwins individually for about 3-5 dollars each depending on the size. Never been unhappy with any of them. But thats a crapload of money to spend for a complete set just to get something that doesnt fail too quickly.

Am I missing something? None of those bits sheered-off if you watch closely. The screw head simply stripped out. All you’re measuring is the strength of that specific screw head’s splines. The better fitting bits will then obviously perform the best.....

@ClientGraphics

4 жыл бұрын

They all cleanly sheered off and not a single fastener head stripped. You can check out some of the bits in this Instagram post. You can see all the bit tips as well as the bits that have a twist in them. You want a twist with the sheer otherwise the bit is technically too hard and could sheer during use. instagram.com/p/CDUafVwDGSh/?igshid=gvqoay355p7

Stay sharp are probably the best bits i have used on the job. 1 bit 2or 3 months of use doing furniture install.

In order to get the best fitting bit then I would say the bit that normally comes with a box of torx 25 screws will always fit the best

I use dewalt branded tools mainly, at my shop where they get a hot supper every day. They just work, I know if they can stand up to the abuse at work then they will last a long time at my home with smaller projects. Plus the max fit bits just really fit into fasteners nicely.

I figured the Milwaukee would win this won, their design is top knotch. These test beat the Bears, very accurate. Anyone looking to buy the best option , who seeks accurate results should subscribe

Come on man. Don’t be like everyone else and copy a thumbnail. Be original. Nice test. Love your videos

Wera is probably the best, I will say I have some insert torx bits from Proto that are very good.

i wish you would involve Wera in your showdowns, i really think they are the best quality (on account of them being the smartest in set-menaging)

I have that Irwin bit holder and i damn near have to use pliers to remove the bits from it.

Love systematic videos like this. Check out those German brands! There's a whole nitch of folks loving Wiha, Felo, Wera, etc, and for good reason -- though they're pricier! And then there's a bunch of non-Home Depot/Lowes USA made that are aren't cheap enough for their shelves that'll last you a few times longer. My personal pick? Wiha. Wiha all day long.

So based on this it looks like not any one of these would work to get a set screw out of a rotor? Those things are so tight I snapped my impact Torx bit

You should test VEGA brand bits. They are the ones who manufacture bits for Snap-On.

If you want some really good torx bits, find yourself some old Apex bits, some of them bits are damd near bullit proof.

Only complaint is you didnt have grey pneumatic. Ive had pretty poor experience with their star bits specifically

I’d like to see a test where each bit is brought to 70-90% of the failure point 10 or 20 times and then is tested, to simulate lag bolts and self tappers into wood and aluminum or wood and steel

In theory that sounds like an excellent test. I’d have to see how that plays out in a video format. Definitely have to speed up that test method in video. Kind of interesting to see how that would test out.

"If you didn't like it, give it two thumbs down" Nice.

Looks like brand is more important than where it is made.

I was expecting to see the difference between breakoff points being a greater difference like 20-30, I was surprised they're actually so close. I have both Bosh & Milwaukee kits and to me the Milwaukee seems to fit everything just that much more precise and the Bosch finish is off of each bit after like the first use of it.

The square bit used in Canada is all ya see in Canada lol

Project Farm is great, but when you get two content creators doing the same thing (or close to it) now you have double the content. I have no idea why you're complaining people!

@Skinflaps_Meatslapper

3 жыл бұрын

The sleeve is designed to go over the screw once it's on the bit. When the sleeve is over the screw, you don't have that initial awkward wobble when you're starting it, which leads to unintentional angles, dropped screws, or a torx bit straight into your finger. It's really handy when you need to run a screw in at an angle or need a lot of pressure to get it started. If it easily falls over the bit, then it's not operating as designed. You can pop the snap ring off and bend it out just a tad, that'll hold it tighter. Another fix is to use pliers to apply pressure on the outer sleeve and slightly oval it, that provides more overall friction...but it also adds friction while it's turning as well, too much and you'll ruin the whole reason the sleeve is there. It's also not that difficult to just take it off entirely if you have no use for it.

Can't believe you wimped out and didn't answer your own question.

But thank you for the testing!

No Wera??? and Wiha??? !!!

Give it two thumbs down...lmao. That's creative :D Thanks again
