Just looking for a torx screw bit so I can remove these blasted screws from CPS2 boards.Could also use an extra set of torx screws as well since one of my boards contains 4 stripped ones.
 
I guess I'm looking for this.....

Ah,touche! Nice,but I just need one size for the CPS2 boards,plus the board screws have that damn bit of metal in the screw head for security reasons,so I can't use a regular torx bit.

Post a pic of said screw. I'm sure this kit has one. And for $8 they're good to get. This won't be the last security screw you have to get out.

besides, one bit will cost a couple bucks by itself...
 
I have that harbor freight set, it's great for most things. It has the bit required for CPS2 (T20 I believe?) but the CPS3 requires a special security bit that the set doesn't have the right size for (I just used pliers instead). Still you can't go wrong at $8.

Ask and ye shall receive! I have a set of torx drivers,but the problem is the damn piece of metal in the middle of the screw head,making regular torx drivers unusable.(Believe me I've tried.) Went to Lowe's and Home Depot and couldn't find any kind of torx driver for this kind of screw.

I got one at Home Depot with about 8 bits in the handle and the same kit modessitt has from Bob Roberts.
