5 Points Torx Tamper Proof on Mercedes Benz E Class
5 POINTS TORX TAMPER PROOF TO TAKE OFF A DOOR MIRROR OF CAR!!! Is there really necessary a special tool like that just to do the job???!!!
Yeahh, that what happened to me yesterday! I am an auto body tech when I got a 06 Mercedes Benz E Class to work on the door panel. I did the repair on the door, took the door handle off, door mouldings and when I was ready to to take the mirror I grabbed my regular torx bits like I did on many other jobs and for my surprise the tool didn't fit on the bolt. I thought that I got the wrong size bit or the bolt was just stripped when I realized that the bolt was tamper proof!
Tamper proof for a door mirror?! Usually tamper proof bolts are used for air bags systems to prevent people without any mechanical skills to mess around but to take a door mirror?! Come on!!!
Anyway, I got a torx tamper proof bit and headed to the bolt when once again it didn't fit!! At that time I was already mad (and still I am) when I noticed that stupid bolt was 5 points instead 6 points of my bits!!
Gezzzz! Mercedes or any other company would come up with a better idea and stop using this kind rare bolts to force bring the car to the dealership to make some profit on top that!
Bottom line: I don't have the stupid tool, the painter refuse to paint the door with the mirror on it, nobody has that tool in the shop and I have to wait until the tool guy show up next week to sell or lend to me! Incredible uhh?!! Ricardo Costa

Title: Screwdriver for 5-Point Star Screw
Weblog: GearHack
Excerpt: I bought my wife a Seagate 80 GB External Hard Drive at Walmart today. It's shaped somewhat like a purse, so I thought I'd take it apart and paint the metal case pink with flower patterns on it. It would make my wife's desk livelier than with its boring gray case. Plus, eventually, I would like to u . . .

Title: 5 Points Torx Tamper Proof for Microwave
Weblog: GearHack
Excerpt: Amazing what you can find online. My BF has a microwave that makes a vibrating noise when it's running. He knows what he needs to do to fix it. But he cannot get the panel off to get TO the vibration b/c of the strange screws. After a bit of online research, I now know that they require the use of a . . .
