I assume you have or are going to start bathing them in some sort of liquid-wrench type fluid to help if they are corrosion seized. From my construction experience, if you are putting loads of force on a T-25 bit the best quality bits you can get are the Dewalt "Impact Ready" bits, typically available at big box stores in two packs. That would help from rounding out the heads like lower quality bits sometimes will. After several treatments of antiseize and putting a good T-25 driver in a 1/4" socket in a decent ratchet/breaker bar I would think they would come loose (or shear off...).
