When I search for a 1.8 cm Torx Plus TR drill bit, I see a whole set from Amazon. Is there a particular number or head size just so I can purchase one drill bit?

I need more information on the Torx Plus bit can you provide the exact size as you used. The 1.8cm is not easy to search for. Brand and exact size number would help.
