I posted in here a while back about repairing electronics (specifically consoles). Got some good information and advice so I figured I'd come back.

I've been meeting with a certain degree of success and I'm starting to branch out into microsoft and nintendo products, which means I'll need the screwdrivers for them.

I've found a good set of screwdrivers for Nintendo products, but I'm having trouble finding a set of TORX drivers that I like. I'd prefer something with fewer parts so I have less to lose.

Any recommendations?

OP here,

Never mind.

Did some looking around and found some hardware stores in my town I can pick something up.

OP, where'd you get the Nintendo set? I'd appreciate a link or site, please.

That doesn't work on recessed screws! Have you ever even seen a gaming system?

I've had this for nearly a year, never come across something it couldn't open. Includes trigram 1.5 and 2.0 (which have done me for working on DS's, not sure if they're the size for bigger things) and Torx 4-8, 10, 15 and 20. Plus some exotic-looking bits I've never come across.

I know it looks really fiddly and you were saying you wanted as few parts as possible but the bits sit neatly and snugly in the box and the whole thing's really well put together so it's not really a problem. I lose everything, my main workspace is a slanty sheet of cardboard on top of a bean bag, but I've never lost any of the bits for this. Also the steel's good and the bits are clean-cut.

Bondhus for most sizes, Wiha for the really small stuff. Both are excellent quality and fairly inexpensive for good tools. Get ordinary screwdrivers or T-handles, avoid interchangeable bit or ratcheting bullshit.

I made that image as a joke image. It isn't my fault people use it for other purposes.

Not the solution for all my problems or the best product out there, but it should tide me over.

OP Here,

Thanks for the suggestions. I might end up getting the one suggested by >>283329 if local stores don't have anything good.

been using http://www.wihatools.com/ stuff for a couple of years (tuning filters and other things for telecom/electronic purpose.) works great for me anyway.
