hi I chopped through my auntys hedge trimmer wire due to a slight moment of lack of concentrationSmile
Anyway I've started taking them apart and
Noticed 2 of the torx bolt heads have a raised pin like centre.
Does anybody know the name of the bits I need to undo them, I suppose they would be a torx with a hole
In the middle?
Oh if it makes a difference it's just a DIY Bosch tool .
Thanks andy

They are security bolts mate. Mostly used for things out in public. We use them all the time at work for things like door access panels, lights etc.

Can get a set of bits for them from Maplins mate.

I've see a few of them, I bought a s**tty draper set from somewhere before. It was a 150pc thing with all sorts of heads in I have never seen.

Worth getting as I have used a number of them on the odd occassion.

They say tamper proof but a well placed 4mm driver and a hammer and you can get them out. I have been in that situation as well...
