The bits in the picture above is not Torx Plus. Torx Plus has 5-star head, while the regular Torx has a 6-star head (see http://www.gearhack.com/Forums/DisplayComments.php?file=Tool/Screwdriver_for_5-Point_Star_Screw.html). Don’t know if the description is incorrect or the picture is incorrect.
Actually, the previous reviewer is thinking of Tamper-Resistant Torx Plus, which has five lobes and a pin in the center to prevent unauthorized tools from removing the screw. Those bits cannot be sold by Amazon because the company that designed them strictly controls their sale only to authorized repair shops doing work on machinery that uses Tamper-Resistant Torx Plus fasteners. Regular Torx Plus does have six lobes, but they are a little “fatter” than the lobes in regular Torx. You can use regular Torx tools to remove most Torx Plus fasteners, but you won’t get the same torque performance as you would by using actual Torx Plus tools.
