Did the same, bought a set of the Safety Security Torx Allen Keys (with centre hole) at Adendorffs for a measly R75 for the set. Good purchase, contains a variety of sizes.-F_D
Of course I meant Security, comes when I am on the phone while typing.The Set of Allen keys I bought are made for the Security Torx screws, I was actually looking for a screw-driver shaped tool and then saw the Allen key-shaped ones at Adendorff. A guy could never have enough tools... -F_D
btw, Torx and spline are not exactly the same. Although spline is a somewhat generic term. Torx is 6-pointed and spline...i think is more than 6. Actual splines do not have "points" as such, it has "square points", like you see on driveshafts and so on. (External splines, like cylinder head bolts.) The centre pin thing is Security Torx, generally labelled as tamper-proof. Allen is something else.
It's called a safety torx. I usually use a flat screwdriver to snap off the pin, then use a normal torx driver.
- will check around for some "Security Torx"
So far i know, you're central. 1. SA Fasteners - corner Davenport and Gale. ...Good people.2. Adendorff - Umbilo Rd., left side Umbilo just a few buildings before Davenport corner with the bottle store.
^^^If that doesn't work, or you just feel like more of an outing, go to Action Bolt in Springfield Park, Sham at the tool shop, tell him Brian said haribol.

For an Explora 1, you will need the Allen-key type Security Torx tools, the bit from Builders are too short and do not reach the screws. The Torx tool (driver) is too thick to fit into the recess to reach the screw at the bottom.-F_D
