Quality T handle hex and Torx required
Discussion
I'd like a set of soft T handled Torx and ball-end hex keys - preferably from the same manufacturer but I've been burned by a set of crappy ones in the recent past that weren't all that was claimed.
This diagram shows the issue with some - and it's not limited to the cheap ones either.
Does anyone have any recommendations that are known to be the "good" type please?

The German Tool Reviews YouTube channel did a very complementary review of Wera brand hex-plus L-keys. It seems that this bit design has a much higher torque capability than plain old hex bits. Not exactly what you're asking for, but it's a reputable brand and perhaps they do similar T handles.
In the end I need a set for my cycle tool box, therefore a set of conventional L-shaped ones seemed sensible. So I have just clicked to buy the full set of Wera Hex, Torx and Security Torx (can't see those being useful for bikes but I couldn't resist completing the set).
I still fancy supplementing my garage tool set though so I have put the full set of Bondhus T handles on my Christmas list.
Thanks for the suggestions all.

I do love Wera gearMagic919 said:
I think Wera is great, but I recently started looking at Wiha too.
Wiha is good, too. It seemed to be dropped by Screwfix for a while, whilst they concentrated on Wera. Now they seem to have gone full-circle. My first experience of Wera was using their PH2 screwdriver, with the diamond bits on the head. Just fantastic. No camming-out. I had to replace the rest of my set.
