TR5 bits (Torx Security) – does anyone know where to buy?
Just bought the full Manta set, but noticed it contains only the non-security T5 (vanilla Torx size 5), rather than the TR5 security version.
iFixit don’t seem to even sell this bit on either their US or EU websites, either.
Anyone know where I can get one, preferably in UK (otherwise rest of EU or US)?
(and yes, the size T5 is available as a secure version TR5, before someone suggests they’re not done in that small a size; they are.)
Thanks in advance.
PS: FYI, this Security Torx bit can also be described by various brands/outlets using other terms, including: TR5, TT5, T5H, TH5 …and likely several others!
Is this a good question?

What device uses TR5 security screws? And, where in the device.
by Dan
A few now, but that's not pertinent.
Regardless of the device, the question is *where do I get one from*, without having to buy a whole massive set?

I would still like to know as I haven't see it used.
As the bit gets smaller the bit wall gets thinner. TR6 is already easy to be broken went torqued to far.

Is there anywhere that sells single bits (apart from here obviously)?
