Tools to replace hard drive

I don't remember using a torx when I replaced my harddrive. All I used was a Phillips.
It's been awhile though, so I may be wrong.

For my late 2008 15" MBP, I needed a #6 Torx to unscrew the HDD from the caddy; got it at Lowe's for $6.
Just put an SSD drive in my brand new MBP last night.
Tools needed:
1) #00 Phillips head
2) T6 Torx
3) approximately 1 beer of any type.

Blue Moon was my beer of choice.
Highly recommended if you want the install to go smoothly.
I picked up the iFixIt toolset:

$20, but you can find $5 off coupons online in about 10 seconds.
I used it to replace the drive in my 15'' i7. I would not have been able to do it without the bits in here.
