Looking for this Torx screwdriver

[Warlock TCK]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone had the T8H Torx screwdriver? It looks something like this:

It has to have that hole in the middle. I know I could order from Lik-Sang but their shipping methods seemed REALLY slow. (I know it's coming from China or Hong Kong or wherever lol)

Any CAGers have one that I could purchase or borrow? I need to try and repair one of my wireless controllers for my 360.

I bought one on ebay a little bit ago intending to open my PSP with it because it said Sony PSP in the title, it turns out it's a torx set. I just tried to open my Xbox 360 controller and it works, so if you are interested PM me and I can sell it to you. It's a really nice set of 6 screwdrivers with nice gripped handles. I barely used it, in fact I only used it to see if it would open the 360 controller just now.

Go to a hardware store and use the torx screwdrivers there.
Or
Buy it from the hardware store and return it when you're done using it.

I know.

My suggestions may not be ethical to some people. Bash me if you like.

I think a radioshack might surprise you with that one. But don't expect it to be a moneysaver.

ethical or not, they're really handy, and in my opinion definitely cheap enough to justify purchasing one to own... if only for the convenience!

I got my set from micro center, but I'm not sure about the hole in the middle. I think some companies put the little bump on the torix screws (thus the need for the hole) because the regular torix tools are a little easier to find. The point of those screws are that you aren't supposed to be able to undo them. I think car companies are going with these modified torix now. Good luck.

I got a set at a local flea market for $5. Also try Harbor Freight.

Harbor Freight had a cheap set....but surprisingly, check out a Dollar Store. I found a better Torx set there for only a dollar, too.

Plenty of good stuff there to keep on hand for odd jobs. Don't forget to get a nice driver handle if you don't have a power drill.

Okay, I found a set that works with the wireless controller. This dude is getting rid of his stock of them for $13 shipped. Check it out right here: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=511866

Everyone on that topic says he's a great seller and since it's on a *gasp* modding site, it's the right tool for the job.

Just giving you kids a heads up. Thanks for your suggestions.
