Sorry, it it doesn't mention pin-in, and it certainly doesn't mention
torx pin-in.

I looked at the ad, and it itemizes the tips, but doesn't mention
pin-in. The kind with the hole in the tip.


You didn't read it very well, in the list a

9 hollow tip torque
6 hollow metric hex
6 hollow SAE hex

"Hollow" is just another description for the pin-in, pin center style.
They can also be clearly seen in the pictures.
