Whats it called?
I've got an IBM Netfinity 5600 server, its harddrives are held in with star screws with little pegs in the center, so a standard tool doesnt work

Newegg has a tool set that looks like it may have one, but I'd rather not buy a $30 set when all I need is one bit

^ bingo. they sell them at HD lowes and sears. Although sear would be the best bet to have them in stock and know where they are.

Maybe on larger ones, but the ones on those HDD trays are tiny.

When everyone has these in their toolkits then they'll just start make the pegs square.
