Note that these have the larger Japanese 13mm shanks. Normal driver bits with smaller shanks should still work, but if you want the best fit with the correct Japanese shanks, then consider this set of Vessel Torx bits, that includes the T30 size:

You may have a misunderstanding of how these impact drivers work. What you're proposing and recommending would almost definitely lead to stripping a seized T30 Torx rotor set/retention screw. You want to drive the retention screw into the rotor/hub in a linear strike while rotating said screw counter clockwise. That's exactly what the Vessel Impactor does and a ratchet with T30 socket, does not.

Consider this one from Vessel or the Koken version (I have the Koken). It's awesome

I have this in my Amazon cart. I'm probably going to buy it to loosen the disc brake screw. The only problem is, the screw is a T30.

This ball style requires you to rotate vs the impact style waffle linked to.

Are you talking about the little bolt that holds the rotor on? I usually don't bother with those, Afaik they serve no purpose besides rusting.

Correct . Remove it and don't put it back. It's used during manufacturing. Just did a brake job yesterday . Tossed them right in the trash.

You could also buy a T30 socket and use a long-handled ratchet or breaker bar. It would be a lot cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-Drive-Impact-Socket-SIB14230/dp/B0D1Z2RVCG/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1WHYOUU74WS... [amazon.com]

They might not be misunderstanding. They are just giving an (cheaper) alternative solution to getting that rotor hold down screw loose. The long ratchet method actually works fairly well as long as you are careful and turn slowly.

I've been a huge fan of Vessel screwdrivers ever since I found an abandoned one in a server room two decades ago. I have multiple now and they've consistently been my favorite go-to hand drivers. That first one I found hasn't degraded at all despite being my most used philips head screwdriver.

This doesn't seem like a deal. Like $1-2 off.
