hey guys, where is a store i could buy the screwdriver from? My back got smashed so i got a new one. checked cvs, giant (lol i know), office depot. cvs and giant didn't have it and office depot had the bigger sizes.

anybody know a store i can buy them immediately? some say its a Phillips 00 other say its a Phillips 0.
 
Sears/KMart sell a Craftsman screw driver, that includes Phillips, Straight, and Torx of various small sizes, including Phillips 0 and 00.

thank u very much!! i'll be checking that tomorrow. :)
 
Any home depot or lowes sells the husky screw driver set and they also have the torx ones as well. They run about 6 bucks and are amazing to have around the house.
 
Does anyone know where I can find a 5 pointed star screwdriver for the new iPhone 4 screws?

I read several posts about these new screws being Torx (6 pointed star) screws but they are not. I have T4 and T5 Torx screwdrivers and they are not the same pattern as the new screws.
 
Just do what I did. I filed down one of my small flat head screw drivers to fit the screw worked like a charm. Then I replaced the torx screws with regular Phillips screws. No More Torx

I found this on eBay and I'm waiting for the seller to confirm that it will work.

If not, I might just do what you did. Where did you get the replacement Phillips screws? Do you have a link that you can share? Thanks!
 
Radio Shack is great!

I just walked in and said I wanted that size, but I did not want to buy a whole packet of different sizes.

The man reached under the desk and pulled out a couple of their tools. I found 4 I liked and gave him a dollar for them. I'm sure you can just ask them for that specific screwdriver and they might just help you out.
