I regularly come across fasteners that have a Torx-type recess in the head,
but with an irritating modification. Right in the middle of the hole,
there's a raised "pin".  This effectively keeps you from using a regular
Torx key to remove the fastener.  I'm guessing that there's a modified Torx
wrench that has a hole in it that allows you to insert the key into the
hole.  Am I making sense?

Anyway, just looking at non-specialist tool places (Sears, Lowe's, etc.)
there's certainly nothing like this.  Any ideas on where to get a small set
of these tools?

thanks - Lee
