 That's why I've been bitching. Half our stuff here
 in Canada comes from Europe/metric, half US/US-S,
 which means 2 sets of tools as it is.
 
 And I have a feeling Torx is a patented brand,
 requiring royalty payments. Which means other
 screw manufacturers will try to get around that.
 
 I've already seen 2 other types of Torx-like
 tamper-proof screws, one with a hex-type socket
 instead of a star-shaped one. The variations can
 be endless.
 
 Does that mean we'll have to get a separate set of
 bits for all of them?
 
 I'm too old to re-tool. [g]
