If you're talking about the Torx with a "post" in the middle I've seen them, just don't remember where. I'll try to remember and post the info.

I found one evil bay, harbor freight has the 6 point, but I need a 5 point. Really just wanted to walk into a store and pick this up.

I see that Grainger sells Wiha, but didn't see the 5-points on their site. Maybe they do have them in store though, or they can get em if you really want to buy over the counter. Or maybe just ask your local pcar mechanic to get em for you. What parts on the 993 need these tools? Good luck.

I'm pretty sure our local Sears has them. Look for them in the automotive tools section.

I have a set at home, but can't recall if 5MM is among them. I can check if you'd like. I'm about 15-20 minutes from Mont Village. Send me a PM if interested.

pm me. My company invented Torx Drive. The five lobe version is referred to as Torx Plus....the post, of course makes it tamper resistant and is referred to as Tamper Resistant Torx Plus. The five lobes is a feature of Torx Plus as opposed to Torx....the tamper resistant feature with Torx Drive has six lobes....again...PM me.

I bought a set at, believe it or not, Home Depot. It was in a driver set by Husky. The sizes start with T7and go through T40, not sure if they are metric or english size.
