I need a driver for 8 fixtures delivered w/o the tool. I googled "tamper proof" but didn't see what I'm looking for. The screws are torx. but have the raised stud thing in the center. Is there a name for these?

Our local Rexel carries tamper proof bit kits with just about every type needed, I think they are somewhere around $30.00. If you have a Bolt and Nut dealer around they will have what you are looking for too.

Thanks I,ts called torx pinhead. This pinhead just learned something!
Some call it pin head but I work in correctional units that have these they are named high securty torex. If you ever come across the screw that only has two round holes in the head and you do not have the driver, use the wheelbarrow from a monopoly game, the handles fit in the holes perfectly,the inmates told us that one.

ceb - the one w/ just the two holes on top is called a spanner head.

LMAO..you're thinking I put the brackets the wrong way????
Rarely do I post w/o adding an image! :D
I put the brackets reversed ( ][ ) on purpose....when the brackets are the correct way, you see only the url, not the image.
Why? I dunno...could be the browser - or George's fault.
