Re: atari hex key tool

You are looking for a "security torx bit", as the "security" version has the
hole milled out of it to accept the nub. I have a set of WIHA Torx bits in
front of me that have the properties you need. Interestingly, this set is
not labeled "security torx", but another set I have from another
manufacturer is labeled just that. The WIHA torx bit set I have comes in a
green rectangular box, about 4x 2 x 3/4 inches and comes with 10 different
sized bits and a handle. The name on the box says "TORX Biits-Selector".
Search for WIHA and you'll come up with a few distributors.
