An accessory pack that will enhance the power tool in first post, but useful to any 1/4 hex drive type chuck
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Milwaukee-Shockwave-Compact-Pieces-Torx/dp/B0851FV7NR
Currently at £11.90 for quickbit chuck and good range of bits in decent quality.
It's the PZ2 (I think) is a good match for jis type heads. Although a very good range in this little pack for many things encountered, automotive or else.

Looks good, includes tamper proof torx bits and also cheap as chips to buy.
Let us know if the quality is acceptable.
Please don't use PZ2 (pozi drive) on JIS screws tho, you'll risk damaging them.

I should have expanded my comment about the PZ2 as I seem to recall one of our eminent members on here noting that from their experience.
I haven't checked yet, and so put "i think" as note to it.
I've had a single T handle jis one I've used (bought in 1970s) for these, but broke it recently. A good fit in correct screw, I accidentally moved it to an angle too far ... and snapped the end off the blades.
Its hardened, which had made it last so long without appreciable wear, but ultimately vulnerable to my handling in that situation. I've yet to get another similar to that.
The bits supplied by the reasonably competent brands do last longer than the more unidentified types sold generally.
I'm involved in things other than these Honda too, giving more spread to the others in these sets.
Recently just to change a washer pump on mundane car, located behind and below headlight and accessed through wheel arch, there was 15 torx fixtures to get in there, for which the powered and suitable bit just speeds things up.
Also, if anyone is involved with car ZF autobox service, there's oil filter inside the box pan, that can have 30 or so torx fix, for which this arrangement is ideal.
neat street:
Some of the accesories you buy are for different tools... Impact drivers should use bits that are not too hard or they will snap, they should be able to `flex` with the `impact` where as hard ones can be used for non impact screwdrivers (thats enough for the tech stuff. As far as tools and cordless go a few of the manuafcturers have gone into the CAS system (cordless alliance system) the pros and cons are that you can buy from some different makes and not worry about what platform you are on, the negative is that you have to wait for all to agree to up-grade the batteries to a `latest` or different system that may be better. Some companies are owned by a group, such as Milwalkee, AEG, Atlas Copco, Ryobi ect (TTI) some even share or buy products and have them put in their brand name and colours such as most of the woodworking tools in the Hilti range (some made by Bosch, ect). I remember doing a show many years ago when a customer came to the Wolf stand and wanted to by from an `English` manufactured product as he did not wish to by Japnese, he purchased a power plane (which was made by Makita and badged Wolf), so unless you know, you have no idea who makes what and where it comes from??

Well just recently got the same borescope camera for mob. 'phone that Nigel (K2-K6) has. Incredible for what it cost me.
This is my latest project ... organising my parts into some semblance or order and manageability.
They are Magnusson from Screwfix. The smaller ones were BOGOF recently but the deal has finished now and the large ones are currently heavily discounted... they have removeable bins, which is a really useful feature.
Next purchase is a thermal label printer ..to label everything. and IR camera attachment for my iPad ... this is really to look at electronics I am currently designing but great uses on bikes .. I hope. Waiting for a decent used but almost new one to show up.
