Who would sell one of these locally? I'm trying to replace the LCD screen on my macbook pro and two of the screws to remove the top part of the case requires a TORX T6 screw driver which is lame in my opinion because everything else is phillips.

i got this at harbor freight for $7...well worth it, IMO: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93916

$5.98

And it's probably there to deter someone who can't find a T6 from attempting an LCD swap.

^thats the one i bought from lowes.

4/22/2009 4:59:07 PM

everytime I see a torx screw I wanna punch somebody in the face for making me go dig my torx driver out

4/22/2009 7:01:42 PM

we should use this thread as our version of the fail blog

4/22/2009 7:23:13 PM

^^exactly. every other screw is a phillips so why make some torx? At least now I have one for future use.

4/22/2009 8:50:31 PM

I want to punch the flat head screw driver inventor in the nuts

4/22/2009 9:00:53 PM

^^honestly i wish torx would have gotten wider adoption

i like it a hell of a lot more than phillips or flathead

4/22/2009 9:12:43 PM

damn right. flat head laptop screws FTL.

if you can find this anywhere (lowes used to sell it, i haven't seen it around there lately though), get it. it's like $10, and has every screwdriver you'd ever need for electronics work, including torx and the really small phillips drivers (like size 000)

[Edited on April 24, 2009 at 7:12 AM. Reason : or just go find a set at harbor freight/northern tool]

4/24/2009 7:11:25 AM

those are really shitty quality, as are the ones from home dept.

4/24/2009 11:15:00 AM

orly

i love mine, i got 2 sets near the end of last year; they've been awesome

4/24/2009 11:55:04 AM

4/24/2009 1:16:44 PM
