RE: torque bits

Yeah, you should be able to get them at any auto store or even Sears. The ones with the hole in the center a referred to as Tamper Proof Torx bits. Just in caes the guys at the stores are wondering what you need.

RE: torque bits

I picked a whole set of 19 at O'Reilly or whatever it is called.. It has regular torx bits and the ones with the holes in them that you are looking for...

RE: torque bits

You're looking for a Torx bit. The regular Torx bit is a star shape, if your bit needs to be the inverse of that (so it has a star-shaped hole, a star-shaped screw would go into it), you're looking for an e-torx bit. I got a set of e-torx bits from sears.
