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

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


I bought two sets at Micro Center and between the two of them I
probably spent less than $20 and now can take just about anything
apart. I picked up the pentagonal one from a sprinkler guy, that
didn't come with the sets (that one I believe is also used on some
waterflow switch covers)
