I've used Craftsman for years with no problems. Home Depot's Husky brand are quite impressive for the price. I've never had a hex or torx that was sized correctly round out. If it's sized properly and you're using the prescribed torque, you won't round anything out.

Yeah, make sure you are using the T30 on the 1125's, the T27 (that XB's use) will work, but will be far more prone to rounding.

If you want to do this on the cheap, Just get a t-handle with hex socket/magnet set-up and just change bits as needed.
