Ok thanks for the heads up

Heres a thread on sets of screwdriver bits with some recommendations for brands: https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....-wrench-27447/

I found it good to buy a set that had lots of fifferent bits: flat, phillips, square, hex, torx etc cost $50.

Fat wrench comes with a set of bits
1/4 Sq
2x Torx
3x Allen
4x Flat head

I managed to strip the corners off my 'approx' T15 torx bit that came with the set, but I bought a set of Bosch torx drive bits from Mitre 10, (T15 - T40)
the set fits in with the rest of the FAT wrench set.

yes it should be a t10 torx bit .

I've got a Vortex torque screw driver. From that Bronco Sports outfit in Tauranga. Does the job nicely also. Have not used a Fat Wrench to compare.

Yes it ended up being a T10.

It had stated on the website that the Fat wrench came with a T10,T15 & T20 bit however when it arrived yesterday it only had a T15 & T20 so I had to run around town and find a T10.

So if buying one just be aware of this
