It certainly is a viable option, Dave, but not for my applications.

Thanks for the input.

3/8" steel rod as long as needed.
Drill for a cross pin, like a "T" handle. Insert cross pin, epoxy, or
use a spring pin.
Drill other end 1/4" then 17/64" about 3/4" deep. Then 9/32" about
1/4" deep, this is to align for the following.

In a scrap block, drill 3/16" hole. Insert T10 bit in hole. (The
kind that's about 1" long overall, meant to fit in a hex holder.)

Place rod from above over the hex, and "cold form" the hex into the
end of the rod. (Hit it with a hammer.)

Gunner,

I only need to turn some Torx head screws. I need to turn ten of the
screws
per each tool.

Maybe, I can use hexagonal or square stock, as you suggest.

Every suggestion gets me to thinking and I learn that way.

Thanks for the food for thought.

How about buying some standard length Torx bits and
solder/braze/welding them to extensions the length you need?
