Reply to comment by djq_ in HELP ikea bed frame by a_literal_throwaway

So I can get this weird pentagon shaped thing (I always thought “Allen keys” were the star shaped ones but I’m also an idiot, so….) at like Lowe’s? I’m on kind of a time crunch so even if I could find and order the correct tool from ikea, it wouldn’t be here in time.

Hexagonal star shaped bits are torx bits. If they have a little point in the center of the hole, thats torx tamperproof.

I have a torx kit for both, but i try to avoid anything that uses torx, its usually some overengineered german monstrosity.
