What kind of allen screws in N-B?

[Andy Bramhall]

Anybody know exactly what kind of allen screws are used in the interior? I'm just trying to undo the curtain ties from the wall...

I've got a pretty big set of about 20 allen keys but none of the quite seem to fit. I don't know if that's cos I need half sizes - or if it's cos maybe mine are imperial and I need metric - or maybe cos these little screws aren't really allen screws at all...

Thanks for any help you can give!

They’re not Alan key heads
They are torx

Yup - Torx heads

Torx - Wikipedia

Torx aren't measured in mm like allen keys, they are given numbers. Eg The one that's about 4mm is a torx 25 ?

I’m called Allen and I’ve never been lucky enough to screw in a N&B...?

Most screwdriver bit sets have Torx bits in them

Much smaller, cheaper sets are available ?
