Arken EP-5

Hi everybody! Just received my Arken EP-5 , 5-25x56 and an ARP-34Z mount for it. With the mount came a small torx wrench to rough it in prior to properly torquing. The problem is the size of the wrench appears to fall in between a T-25 a nd a T-27. In other words, if I want to use a proper torque setting I have to settle for a very loose fitting T-25 to do it. This makes my teeth hurt. Is there something out there I don’t know about or did Arken do something to force me into buying some weird proprietary size that only comes in a set of 250 other sizes I’ll never use?

Thats kinda weird
You could try an allen wrench
------------------------------------
I know some allen wrenches fall in between 2 Torx sizes
So since your Torx is between 2 Torx, maybe an allen will fit snug
I have used allen wrenches before for small Torx when I couldnt find one
 
T25 works fine. Push in as you turn. You are only torquing it to 30 in/lbs so not a big deal. And yes I have used many of those mounts and always used a T25.
T25 works for me however you have to jiggle it sometimes to make it fall in.
