...and the irony is, the 2 that just got taken out of my knee - one 2.5" and one 3" - ARE TORX. <sigh> That, and they're self-tappers, which I thought was funny. Maybe it's just me...

Oh well. They'll make nice keychains, LOL.

Did they have to use an easy out to get them out of your knee?

Nah, one use in, one use out...hadn't had a chance to strip the head out yet LOL.

I'll have to check...but I'd damn near swear it's a T27.

Those are tougher than the average screw..they are most likely titanium.

Oh, they are Ti. Most of me from the waist down is now...lol. I'll get some pics later, when it doesn't hurt so damned much to get out of my chair.
