Next time you need a tool, and the one you can afford is a Lisle, think again. I have a set of Lisle torx that look worse than these triple squares.

I bought a valve spring compressor a few weeks ago to do a valve job on my ATV, the damn thing bent and broke before the spring even began compressing. Definitely staying away from now on. Oddly enough, my $10 set of triple square drivers from Canadian Tire have held up just fine for a few years now, I've even stuck them in my impact wrench a few times.

A true test.


These Lisle things I've bought are only marginally stronger than a stick of cold butter.
