Question about Torx screwdriver

[GeorgeO]

Folks

I seem to have a problem on my Sq Box Classic and need to open it up and check. The internet info is that I need a torx screwdriver-the screw is not an Allen or Philips screw. Where can I get one of these?

Thanks in advance.

Ok got more info from wikipedia and understand now that these are used in the computer industry, as well as some other industry.Maybe SP Road is a good starting point(as always!)

Hi George,

Go for a set with removable bits, that way you can tackle any size for future gadget opening operations

Husky 8-in-1 Torx screwdriver including T5 tip

I have the one which is shown on this page. Do you wish to borrow it? I got this along with the laptop motherbord which I bought from the ebay.

Let me see if I can get one from a friend, otherwise I might take you up on your offer.

It seems that T15 will be the required one for you.

I picked up a screwdriver set today from SP Road, a Chinese make with a whole set of bits that hopefully should see me through all possible situations. Rs 300. Thanks Sudish..

George, read this post a bit too late. For our catchup this evening, I was bringing my Precision Screwdriver set which includes the Torx set from T3 to T15 sizes to open your Squeezebox. It is a 32 in 1 set.

Well, I too thought I was covered for most possible situations, but found out this cannot open my iPhone 4 "pentalobe" screws.

Damn Apple!! I had the 3G/3GS tool kit, but now need one of these if I am to open an iPhone 4 (hoping I won't need one):
