Hey Guys

I am looking for a place to buy a T8 Torx Security Screw Driver for opening the Xbox 360 Controller. I don't mind buying it online but I want it to get here in 2, maximum 3 days, and also must be £3 or less.

Thanks

Honestly, I would say go to Radio Shack or somewhere else if possible. I got a little tool kit that has bits for anything I ever need small computer-**** wise.

And a size 9 Torx works for me for every screw on my xbox 360 console. Not sure about the controller, I can try if you like

That way you'll only need one.


EDIT:::

LOL! Nevermind I forgot that was the security kind.

I would still recommend one of the regular tool-kits from radio shack, though. They're great and handy to have around if you're a fellow tech-minded person.

Do NOT buy a T8 Securty driver BIT. It is not long enough to reach the deeper screws.

By the way, bull**** on Lowes, Ace Hardware, Radio shack and SEARS(they only have the driver bits) for the tamper proof/security torx T8 screwdrivers. No one... next on my list is to try home depot, hopefully you're not lying to me because im tired of running around and have to go back to sears to return this retarded driver bit.

Simmer down! And I bought my screwdriver at Ace Hardware, and being being a previous employee at Sears i know we had them but they were about $8 compared to the $3.50 one at Ace.

SEVENCITY is right. I went to about 5 or 6 local hardware stores, none of them have T8 Security. Don't waste a few hours of your time like I did.

Re: Where to buy T8 Torx Security?

Well I previously stated where I went and did not find it. I looked all over and asked in each store. The only place that had it was Sears. And it was only the bit. So... you are all liars.. lol I'm kidding. I was just frustrated that day because all the running around with no find.

Wish I had just bought one on the internet. Instead I broke the two security pieces that the bit couldn't reach and I half broke a screwdriver doing it. Whoever said the security pieces break off easy was wrong, especially the ones you can't hardly see in the deeper holes.
