Who sells this bit

[texasfiremedic]

I have looked through Snappy web and can't find. Unless I missed it. Is it a proprietary bit? It is not a Torx. I have called a 5 point star but can't seem to find a match.

This goes on a VP 44. I have to get a new pump and will have to add a stealth plate over the electrical package to tap a wire on the pump internally. If tapped outside the pump warranty will be voided. The problem is I am still debating about putting the tap on.

Anyway any suggestion would be helpful.

Is it a pentalobe fastener? Im on my phone and can't see it clearly, but that's the only 5 point fastener I can think of. If so wiha sells them

Negative. Torx plus is the design change of the six point torx.

Nope. It has been discussed here before. Torx Plus Security (not just plain Torx Plus) is the five lobe fastener design. Look at "Step 70" on this link:

Ok, I got it now. Name is: TORX PLUS Security.

Plain TORX PLUS is still 6 point it seems.
