5 point torx tools

[rider9195]

Any specific brands that are better than others? I found that some MAF sensors use 5 pt. security screws and figured it wouldn't hurt to have a set just in case.

I know Wiha has some, but what others do you guys use?

 

[MrMark]

I would stick with Wiha for stuff like this. You will not be disappointed.

I already have some Wiha tools and like them very much. Just was wondering who else makes them.

I'll probably end up with Wiha in the end though!

vim makes a nice set.check out vim tools.

I have the Snap-On's and like them a lot.

Had a SK set, a little pricey

 

[Hammer1963]

As previously mentioned, any of the VIM produced bits will be very good. Cornwell, MAC & Blue Point

I have the SK set. They fit well. Some Honda V6's use these for the idle valve as well.

Aren't the 5 point the Tamper Proof Torx with the pin in the middle?

Yes.

I like my Wihas. Cheap, German bits, US rail...

 

[CWP1616L]

Yes.

In that case, I'd recommend Apex for the screwdriver bits.

The bits Bart1 showed are the 6pt. Torx tamper proof---I believe the OP was talking about the 5pt. here:

Another member had a thread about these and that was the first time I had heard about them:
