Benchmade Service Tool Kit Question
I just cracked/snapped the star end off my torx T6 in the old Benchmade (made in Taiwan) 'blue box' tool set. It's about 6 years old and I only put medium pressure on it - and CRACK!
Is the new Benchmade Service Tool Kit better quality? It looks nifty with the extra sharpeners and nylon sheath etc.....Also, Is it made in USA?

I use craftsman, lifetime replacement.
Others swear by Wiha.
I can't answer your question, Id look online or call customer service, they should have an answer, perhaps their tools are warrantied as well.0 -
Are you talking about the little folding one? I have one, its junk.
One of the torx wrenches literally stripped the first time I used it. Prolly the only BM product that I would NOT recommend.
Buy wiha and never be without again.0 -
Thanks guys, yes it's the folding one. I went ahead and ordered one from my dealer an hour ago (before waiting for a couple of replies here) I should of waited by the sound of it, but I'm sure my dealer will replace it or refund me if it is junk.
I may be wrong but I'm thinking the T6 torx is mostly used in electrical and light delicate stuff. Something like a beefy Benchmade with blue loctite is too much for anything but the best quality drivers.0 -

What he has said is good info. Good tools0 -
I have the small box BM torx set and have had no issues with it. 0 -
If it turns out to be "junk" at least I will have some spare bronze washers 
Seriously, it looks nice and if I don't abuse it - it should last ok hopefully.

I just purchased the folding tool a couple of months ago...seems fairly wellmade but think it's real place is for basic fieild maintenance (got a full size set of torx screw drivers in my range box for the serious stuff).. 0
