I want to install my set of 4th gen Camaro seats (they were in my T/A when I bought it) into my Blazer. GM used a Torx 50 bolt to hold one corner of the seat down. Seriously, who owns a torx 50? It's annoying, I can't even use a hex wrench for this bolt.

I own one. Because I had to take the seats out of my 79 z/28 once. I sure as hell didn't have one the Sunday night I wanted to take them out though.

Got a friend with a Jeep? Torx 50's all over those suckers.

Try a vice grip.

Mine were all torx bolts. Might have even been T55 now that I think of it.

Mine are torx too... I just don't have a set of torch bits.

I own a Torx 50. It was in the Torx socket set and had both Torx and E-Torx.

When I bought the set I thought "damn... when will I ever need E-Torx?" and then the next car I bought had E-Torx fasteners. I think my wife's car has them too.

I have all the way up to T-70, because Subaru differentials use Torx

If you have a Lowes near you they'll have them. I just picked up a T45, T35, and T25 from there today in order to do some work on my Bimmer tomorrow.

I have one. Had to buy it to perform a seatbelt recall on Dakotas back in the day. Haven't used it since.

I have two full sets of torx and one more T30 on top of that, for when some break. And that doesn't include L-keys, standard bits, extra long bits, and stubby torx sockets. Mercedes uses torx and e-torx for almost everything.
