I need a set of bit (or whatever it is called). They look like torx bit with a hole in the center. Canadian Tire has only one such bit and it is too big.
So,
1) What is the real name for these? 2) Where can I get in Gatineau/Ottawa? (I don't want to order: the game is at home and can't be played. I need these to set it up....
Security bits. If you have a Princess Auto in the area, go there and get a full set. They usually have them on sale for $5-6 for a set.

As much as I "enjoy" shopping at Princess Auto, alot of their stuff is really crap ...
I bought tools and supplies there and have never been all that impressed.. (.. I've had tools "break" on me. Pliers in particular... )
I bought a full set of security torx bits, only to discover that many had poorly centered holes and the bits did not fit on the screw-head. (...it was the correct size bit, it's just that the hole was off-center so the bit would not fit in the star-groove. )
Just make sure you look at the bits carefully before buying...

Also, a lot of mess on sale and it is tempting to buy all kinds of stuff you don't need. What the heck am I supposed to do with this black light on my desk?
Steph, I agree, they're good for occasional use stuff, but not heavy use tools. For example, security torx bits, for removing topper covers.

When i buy the security bits i normally buy 4 not because i break them is that i loose them. plus I normally get them when there like 2 or 3 bucks.
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
I agree with Steph, some of the stuff is real crap. That said, the security bits are awesome and have been extremely useful a few times. Get them with confidence. Best $6 or so I ever spent on tools.
