    I've never stripped a torx bit using my drill but I've stripped plenty of screw heads. Taking apart 400 hard drives is hard enough with a drill much less using a hand tool. My hands don't work as well as they used to. I'm not saying you shouldn't break them down, it's just not something I'm going to do anymore.
    Me and my brother are in the process of making a tool to crush hard drives. Once we are finished I'll post some pics on my other thread.

    Good deal on some good Torx IP7 bits. They took my $10 offer for 2. Wiha is a great brand.
