That's what I use as well, Xcellite System 99. I bought almost the complete
range over the years, it's the easiest way to get Bristol spline keys (needed
for the Friden Flexowriter, IBM5155 monitor, etc) in the UK.

Incidentally the System 99 torx bits on an X5 extension will fit the recessed
screws of a Mac Plus (etc).
