Recommendation for a compact torx+ set

[CalvinT]

Well, this is good to know. What makes it a PITA is that the fastener design is so similar that most people cannot tell by feel whether they have the correct size of bit. Add to that the lack of general public knowledge of even the existence of torx+ as a standard. If the companies feel the need to use any torx+ fasteners on parts for which the public are likely to require access then make them ALL torx+. That would be difficult however because of the added expense, so, if they must mix the two standards on a vehicle MAKE IT OBVIOUS that two standards are in use and educate the owners and service people.
Sorry for the rant but thank you for the info.

I didn't know about torx plus until I was installing my new Bartact door bags. I couldn't find a torx driver that fit the screws properly. Then I discovered they were torx plus. I agree they should make all the screws torx or torx plus instead of mixing them.

You're right that the general public is unaware of torx plus. And most stores don't carry them. Harbor Freight doesn't have torx plus. I did find a set at O'Reilly Auto, but none of staff know of torx plus and they don't show on their web site.

I bought this set from Amazon. They fit in the Ford provided tool pouch.

That’s the one I bought about a week after getting the Bronco and learning about this whole Torx + fiasco.

I've got a set of these under the seat on my BMW R1250RS. Flexible torx wrench set.

Neat... But at a price only a BMW owner can love

The Titan set proposed by the first two people should do the job at 1/3 the cost. I have used Titan branded tools before and they are fine for occasional use.
