[geeks] TORX Question - Mac SE/30 tool - what wrench?

It's not a T-8, it's a T-10 or a T-15 and they are available in 10
inch lengths by a company named Rigid from Home Depot.  You can buy
them singly and they're more than long enough to open SE boxes.  I
can't recall which size right now because all my SE's are in storage
and I have two of the torx drivers in front of me.
