Torx is not the same as Torx Plus (sometimes referred to as IP)


Torx has a more rounded shape on the star pendents, which is why they slip and cause stripped heads in the Torx Plus screws used in the N9
nice to see a comparison!

I knew there was a difference but didnt know what! I suspect the ones they give you with these ebay auctions are just torq and they are also not of the highest quality. i.e. length, head quality, turning back bit. all these factors reduce the chance of slipping!

and also some companys sell "Nokia" screw drivers that will allow you to open the specific model but are not torq plus!
