Snap on has them, but I see that they are "not available" on line. I have also purchased them from Mac Tools, but can't find them in their on line catalog. I'll look at the part # when I return to work on the 2nd. What is the application that you need them for?

Michael - from the lara tools site - lara.com -
In order to purchase these bits you will need to sign a letter stating that you are an authorized serviceperson for the equipment where TORX PlusŪ tamper-resistant screws are used. Bits are $9.50 per bit and we will also charge you a one-time $20 non-refundable fee to process all the paperwork to authorize you to purchase these bits. The bits will be shipped directly to you from the manufacturer within 5 business days. This is apparently a requirement that the TORX manufacturer (Textron) puts on the distributors and what makes the fasteners "tamper proof".

Any reason not to go this route:

Actually, those are TORX Tamper Resistant, not TORX Plus Tamper Resistant. The difference is they have 6 points, I need the "plus" version with 5 points. I'm going to try the easyout route.

What are you trying to fix. I have a set of short bits, and a very long one that is for removing Benz side view mirrors.
