Time to get the hex off here...

This is a "bit" of a dissapointment

Woot! has always been a dumping ground to unload crap that doesn't sell.

insert mild explictive here

I missed it by oooooo that much

Your description calls them "torque" bits. They are torx bits.

Duh.

Amy area rugs tonight? Odds?

This is massively overpriced. I've bought quality hex bits for pennies on the dollar (about 5 cents a piece) at wholesale and they're only a bit more expensive than that from your local hardware store. I'm beginning to think that SOG as a brand is hugely overrated. Remember their fail-shovel?

I think this one torques me off. Overpriced.

Hey woot! you linked to Wikipedia while they are protesting SOPA - nothing like adding politics into a woot-off.

It's beginning to feel a bit like suckmas.

Amy Area Rugs retired years ago.

Convert that hex to ascii.

Aren't all bits technically torque bits? Without torque they wouldn't do much good!

... I'm done.

Ok. Flossed my teeth. Ready for bed. Bring on the Box of Crayons...

Your sarcasm is a hex bit soggy

Woot was a dumping ground to unload crap from other companies prior to Amazon's purchase. That's the whole point. Cheap crap and a thriving community of nerdy overly sarcastic (and whiny) people.

Holy hex we have a comedian. Go buy three of these and I'll giggle.

Not even worth 2 bits. . ..

Sorry, couldn't resist. :-)

Screw this.

"Torx" is a registered trademark. These might be knockoffs (although usually those are called "star" bits).

You can buy the 1/4" drive adapter directly from SOG:

Oh come on! Can buy these in any hardware store or big box store in the country. For less than here.

Not Woot-quality crap. Just general easy-to-find crap.

SOG..... Son of God! Who do these guys think they are?

http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Turn-Ratchet-Into-Driver/dp/B001AT40OC

http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-48-32-1700-Insert-Driving-20-Piece/dp/B000QV0184/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1326944702&sr=1-1

Between these two, it's $6. For that plus shipping you get an additional eight bits and an extension. I can't find the material SOG is using for their bits, but since it's an axillary set it's probably not the highest quality set.
The price is less than the $12 on amazon, and the $20 on the SOG website, but its still more than I'd be willing to pay for a set that doesn't include commonly needed Allen bits (4mm, 5mm, 3/16, 7/32).

wow. does woot screw us on the prices for everything else as bad as this? sheesh.

Yet people seek it by the bagload

This is not just some 2 bit offering here - there's at least a half dozen or so.

this is going to take a while....
don't hold your breath!

I believe Star Bits may be owned by Nintendo

This woot off had me happy, then dopey, then grumpy, now sleepy.

If these are the same ones as were up in the December wootoff they don't come with the case mentioned in the write up.

I expect the quality on these to be far better than the typical bits you'd find elsewhere. It says they come in a little nylon case, too- sounds perfect to go in my backpack's side pocket next to the SOG Powerlock that lives in there. I'm getting hex sets for my dad and brother, too- in for 3!

Whats with all the SOG stuff!?

I told myself-- If I needed to look anything up on Wikipedia today, that I'd just go to urban dictionary instead

Apparently:
SOG = sea of green
"refers to a large amount of cannabis plants growing in one place"

This makes me want to kill myself.

Oh, I forgot to add the pun.
