So, any recommendations for a small set of tiny
torx bits that actually hold up under use?

have held up well for me.


In my never humble opinion, those are not very good. The previous
version of those Husky Torx drivers were wonderful. I have several
sets and found them to be a very good fit and quite rugged. The new
and improved model is garbage, with a sloppy fit. Fast photo:

The upper driver is the older better model. The lower drive is the
current version which I detest. Notice the sides of the Torx bits.
The old version has sides that are parallel, while the new version is
tapered, producing a smaller point of contact, and a sloppy fit.

Jeff,
Didn't know they changed. I have the old version.
