where can I get a good triwing screwdriver?

Post by stuntpenguin007 » Wed Aug 05, 2009 11:11 am

My triwing screwdriver is really small, and every screw I've ever removed with it, I've had to push down on the top of it and twist it with a pair of pliers.

Anybody know where I can find a bigger triwing screwdriver? Most places don't give the dimensions.


edit: My screwdriver is about 2 1/2 inches long.

You can also try taking a dremel and grinding down the tip of the screwdriver. You said to remove others you have to push in. But oh well, having a dx one is still nice. :lol:

I have a proper one with a steel head that I bought off a local game shop, but I also bought the red one from DX. I haven't used it much, but I have a feeling it will wear quickly if you use it much. On the other hand, for that price you can buy 10 without getting ruined.

Harbor freight also has a security bit set which includes two large triwings and a few etorx nintendo bits, but the nintendo bits are too small. :(
