      I got my set of tools that are intended to remove the three or four different types of security screws at the Englishtown flea-market.(near the big drag strip) For $10 there was a full set of hole-in-the-middle TORX drivers, the funny 3-tined phillips-like drivers, and phillips-like screwdrivers where the tines do not intersect at a point ( they meet at what looks like a four-handed fireman's carry. The only ones that weren't in the set are the ones that would allow you to disassemble public restroom dividers.

        Hi, what someone installed are security bolts. The tool has a hole drilled in the center to allow the stud to pass into it. They come in allen and torx variety. If you have a drill press you can just drill out the right size wrench and take it off. It was done so that the plate couldn't be stolen easily. JEZ

          Hi All, 

          After moving to FL and registering my cars, I realized that someone had installed a license plate with what appeared to be allen head bolts. Upon closer inspection, the actual bolt has a hex-like shape, with a STUD in the center. Thus, if I were to use an allen wrench, it would have to be hollow to allow to actually work. I looked up some tools on the McMaster Carr website and a tool on catalog page 2662, called the, "Tamper-Resistent Torx." Not being familiar with this type of tool/fastener, I was hoping someone could shed some light on the subject before I ordered it (for instance, is there an Allen style tamper resistant fastener, or only the "torx" style head?). 

          Thanks, 
          Jim W.
