Hi,

Does anybody have an idea where I can find a tool like this?

When Googling I always get US companies that sell them. But even with the dollar beeing slightly low, you still end up paying too much for shipping.

My local tool shop doesn't have these special tools. Even getting longer E-Torx is hard.

Thanks!

Make sure you get a trade card before buying anything from halfords saves you a fortune.

Just say you work for a local garage or something

Yes, I got some cheap torx sets as well. But you need a special long and thin one for removing an M42/M50 head without taking the cam trays off first.

But I found some just after I posted this thread :D Shipping from germany isn't that much.
