I have a bit of equipment in the kitchen that has some screws on it that look like a torx but have a small pin in the middle that stops a torx bit fitting in. Can anybody tell me what they are called so I might be able to buy a tool somewhere.

If they're normal pattress screw size, (socket & switches) usually, a small flat head terminal screwdriver will fit.

Some of the vandal dome cameras we fit have those style screws and I often just use the terminal driver if I forget the proper screwdriver. 2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

I have the correct tool now, but I have snapped the centre pin off on many of these screws and a normal torx then fits..
Also try a small flat head screwdriver blade, they often do the job as well..  Previously..

I seem to recall they also had a bit set, which would plug into a drill/driver or screwdriver - should be cheaper than this set.
