A set of something like these (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10pc-3-8-MALE-TORX-SOCKETS-TORX-SCREWDRIVERS-BITS_W0QQitemZ120176514289QQihZ002QQcategoryZ30917QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
(http://i22.ebayimg.com/03/i/08/85/3b/3a_2.JPG) wouldn't go amiss if you have an Omega.


You could do with some of these too (http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/pro44-14-pce-tx-bit-set)

By the time you've bought those two, may as well get the halfords kit...

? ? ?  :-? If you're going to buy a male Torx drive for the sump you might as well buy the set as you'll use most of them, same as the socket/female Torx. The above socket Torx are c£25 and even if you paid the same for the male set that still leaves you £100 away from the full retail price of the ever popular Halfords kit!
