Rumor has it that William Donzelli may have mentioned these words:
I probably
should add one of my big gripes: Torx-plus (5-lobed star)
tools.
While I have seen a lot of security heads in use, I have never seen
anything that actually uses these Torx mutants.
The original Leatherman Wave. Despite the fact IMHO it's the best multitool
on the planet, it *really sucks* when you can't even tighten the joints
yourself!!! Ungh.
My Leatherman Wave of 3+ years just went on walkabout (that's how I've lost
most of them - someone else wanted it worse than me!!!) so I had to
purchase a new one - and now they use "standard" 6-lug Torx security bits.
Have manufacturers
been shying away from them? What uses them?
I doubt anything in the computer world uses 'em, and other than my old
Wave, I've never seen them used on anything else. The Leatherman Corp. quit
using them, so maybe the NDA and associated crap was too tightly controlled?
I would not be suprised if there are already Chinese
knockoffs.
Back when I was actively looking for them, I couldn't find one. Haven't
looked in a couple years, tho.
