You can get the required driver bit from one source or another, so it isn’t really going to completely stop anyone with a modicum of determination.

Definately got to change it to “Metric is standard, not imperial” imo. That’s also part of why Torx is great – there is no imperial option to be slightly different and destroy the threads/heads!
