I'm supposed to loosen Lindab gutter brackets in connection with painting. Strangely enough, T15 is too small and T20 is too big. There is no T18 but it feels "just right". The carpenter probably is on vacation so I'd rather not bother him. Could it be a T20 with a hole?

A Torx screw head on a weathered wood surface, questioning appropriate size between T15 and T20 for Lindab holder adjustment.
 
The screw is painted so my guess is that it's a t20 that has gotten too much paint on it in the groove.
 

Best answer

The screw head is eight-pointed. Not even Torx, in other words. You should use square bits for this one.

I thought it was in the steel gray color from the factory, but you might be right. Looks a bit like some screw for sheet metal roofing with a gasket.
 
Test R1 or R2 (Robertson) bits. They are square as Johan mentions.
Usually used for outdoor sheet metal, I have learned (the hard way).
 
Just like others have responded, you should use fyrkantig.
I just screwed in those and made the same discovery 😊
