Thanks Needswings, Hudoo, and the rest of you. I bought a set last weekend but like a lot of sets these were missing an E-11 and a few others. I can't quite understand why these marketers make sets with big gaps in the middle. They seem to favor even numbers. Anyway, I thought I could find a lone E-11 some where to fill in one of the missing spaces--WRONG! Actually, after I posted, I found a loner E-11 on Ebay.It was in England however. I ordered it. Pulley's going to have to wait a week. I probably should pop for a quality set that has everything. Maybe my girlfriend needs a Christmas present suggestion. Thanks again!

If anyone is doing a speaker install I picked up screw driver with 25 separate pieces (8 Torx bits - including the T8 which you need) plus I bought a separate bit torx set that included a 8 bits all the way up T40 at Home Depot for about $15 total.

I would also recommend these: Amazon.com: GearWrench 80588 Long Torx Set (T8-T50), 10-Piece: Home Improvement
If you ever plan on taking your steering wheel airbag off you will need at least 5" long torx to get to the bolts.

LOL, yeah...I feel your pain. I have a couple hundred dollar Matco Torx/Hex socket set and it did not have long enough torx sockets in it. I bought that and these for my 1/4" cordless impact Amazon.com: Tamper Proof Star Torx Bit Set T6 to T40 6" Long 10-pcs: Quality Distributing LLC

They look a bit long, this length is adequate and I have turned the ones in my wheel with it, they are not too tight at all.

Others may say otherwise but T-30 fit snugly with no play at all, just as they were designed to do.
If you have play when they are turned you have the wrong bit.
