I probably should add one of my big gripes: Torx-plus (5-lobed star)
tools. It's much easier (and cheaper) to buy illegal drugs than to
get these things. You have to sign a statement attesting to your
being authorized to use them; the cost is about $10 per bit (I'm not
aware of any "sets" being offered) and a processing fee for your
application is usually tacked on to the bill.
Really? I got hold of a couple for stripping down a gearbox for about a
fiver from my local tool shop. They do tend to carry some pretty
specialised stuff though.
