Don't have to deal with too many external torx bolts, but recently had a few that were on FT, and my chrome sockets took a bit of a beating with the impact to get them out.
So I decided to invest in some impact grade ones for future. Difficult to find cheap sets which are proper cr-mo and not just painted cr-v but these Sealey ones seem to fit the bill.
Got a couple of odd ones on clearance for the smaller sizes which i doubt i will ever use.
Also picked these up cheap (don't think I'd pay RRP!), bit of an odd design with an external 17mm hex. I'll have to see how well they hold up.

I have a stud removal tool like the one I think you're talking about (EXAMPLE).
The question is: Where is it?
I've searched my shop and a couple of other likely hiding places, but no joy.There are some exhaust manifold studs on my Dodge M37 that I need to replace, but the threads are damaged, so I can't use the doubled-nut method. I just bought the stud extractor tool shown below. It's a rather different design, and I haven't tried it yet, so we'll see how it goes.

Bought the same kit but with the extension hose, very reliable as recommended on this group and the hose makes it easy to get into awkward places.
That will keep you busy. There is a knack of fitting the springs, to get the pin in far enough to pick up the end of the spring then knock it in. Here is mine. https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/stuff-you-have-made-today.67127/post-2141428

A lot of the tine holders are pretty worn on mine but like you im not paying £12 a pop for 20!! plan is to hopefully build up with weld the worst of them and knock it back to near round with the angry grinder, its not precision after all
I nearly bought some of the seals, bought 3 bottles of Banks Amber and a can of the bronze spray which I am pleasantly surprised with.I blame that Bob bloke, he's got a lot to answer for!

Ours is hit and miss, looks like a jumble sale most of the time, they very rarely have tools, batteries and chargers at the same time, to be honest the grubb is going down hill as well

Forget where I read this but after he retired from the music biz he ran a country pub in Essex for a while.poor guy, i was upset when we lost him
Some customer would wander in when he was putting logs in the woodburner and make the inevitable joke. And then have to put a quid in the swear jar.
