How durable are the long torx bit? If i use it for automotive use at work everyday will it last long like snap on?

Quit durable, but not corrosion free and most annoying they're not magnetic.

yep, non magnetic and not very durable in my experience (and others). It's something for the odd situation where regular bit holders won't go.
If it cams out only for a second then the bit is likely ruined, while good short bits will strip the screw head.

In my experience, no, they don't wear as well as SO.

Festool released an updated version of the 100 mm long bits.
The new version has new zirkoon-duplex coating for better grip and longer lifespan.

I hadn't noticed but indeed the new centrotec 2015 set has the grey long bits, looks like they listened to our complaints.
Do these replace the yellow ones? Both are still featured on the local festool website and priced similarly.
