What screws are used in the rMBP / Where can I buy the tools?

[striker33]

Hi guys,

Finally got my 4th replacement rMBP, and aside from a little yellow tinting to the bottom (I'll live), the bottom panel seems to be very loose and moves a fair bit.

Is there a specific name for the type of tool used to open the rMBP? I'd assume its available cheaply on eBay or whatever, but it would help so that I buy the right one and get this thing tightened up.

Also, would making the screws too tight cause creaking noises from the chassis? As my previous 2 had that issue, but the bottom panel seemed to be almost glued down due to there being no give at all.

Thanks in advance!

I think this is what you're looking for. The name for this type of screw is pentalobe:

They're Pentalobe #3, available from ifixit. I have their ultimate screw driver set and it comes with the pentalobes.
