Fuel Pressure regulator security torx , FOUND EM!!!!!

I just wanted to let you guys know that I found these ! If anyone of you have to change your fuel pressure regulator in the future you will know where to get them and what fits , well here it is :

Purchased at : O' REILLY
GM Goodwrench Tools
19 piece SAE TORX Assortment Set (Torx Bits)
Its in a black plastic package which says GM Goodwrench tools at the top in white and blue .
The bit that fits the Hex screws on our regulator are T-9

I paid $12.99 for it , and it is guaranteed forever

I BOUGHT THIS AT O'REAILLY ...

These stores DO NOT HAVE IT :

Advance
Ace Hardware
Home Depot
Lowes
Sears

YOUR BEST BET IF YOU EVER NEED THESE IS GO TO O'REAILLY

I just wanted to post this to get it into the "Search" section incase any of you guys ever need to change your fuel pressure regulator . These Security bits ARE VERY HARD to find .

The commen name for these of course is "Security Torx" BUT on the package ( on the back) They say "Tamper Resistant TORX BITS . They do not say this on the front , they just say Torx Assortmen Set .

Cool, good find! Not a bad price, either. Did they come with some kind of adapter like this set? http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/OTC-6145.html I've seen types of this set before; looks like you can use the bits in a screwdriver, but the adapter allows you to use it with a socket set?

I usually type a tool into yahoo.com, and sometimes, it brings up a discount tool store. Some others are http://www.harborfreight.com , http://www.toolparadise.com , http://www.northerntool.com . And there's always ebay
