T-handle Torx tool set-recommendation needed

Looking for a T-handle Torx set. The Park Tool one is $82, which seem really high. I looked at Harbor Freight and they have one for $22. Is there really a difference in quality? Or is there something in-between.

Note: I have had the Park Tool t-handle hex set for years without any problems.

Thanks

Bondhus is around $50, Miusa and nice quality in my experience.

I have the HF set and it's OK. I switched to a Wera Kraftform Kompakt 400 setup since I use the same bits with my torque wrench. I also like the idea of being able to replace a single bit as needed.

I always regret buying cheap tools
You could save some money by just buying the sizes you need instead of a whole set.

It pains me to say it, but Park tools are "cheap tools" at a very high price.

I would also recommend Bondhus or Wera.

The Feedback Sports T-handles are pretty nice.
