I think my largest Torx is a #50. I'd rather deal with that than a #4 
Phillips although I have one of those for the air cleaner on the 
Sportster. 

I think my first go around with Torx was replacing a headlight on the '86 
F-150. WTF? Again it was better than the crappy little Phillips screws 
that had been in use.

I probably could scare up some Robertson drivers too. I used to do some 
work in Canada and when you go down to Canadian Tire for some screws 
that's what you get.
