I know, I need to get some of those too. One place I
recall using them was
for an IBM external floppy drive enclosure -- though they used standard
philips-head screws in some of the holes. I got them out finally and
threw 'em out. :-) It'd be nice to be able to deal with them easily though.
The 6-lobed Torx security bits are pretty easy to come by just about
anywhere. The 5-lobed Torx security bits, on the other hand, are
considerably more difficult to find, though not unobtanium.
Torx in the non-security version is great. I'm working on a
construction project on the house and much to my surprise, I found
that ceramic-coated deck screws are now made with T25 heads. Much
better than the older square-drive or phillips types.
