Where to find Torx screwdrivers, not bits?

[John Doe]

I need some Torx screwdrivers. I can't use ordinary bits because the shaft diameter won't fit into the hole. Also, they have to be one or two sizes smaller than the Torx bits I have. About 1/8" or less.

Are there any (U.S.) local chain stores that sell them?

Thank you.

Sears, they have a black ring instead of the standard red& blue.

Sears Lowe's Home Depot Ace Hardware

Methinks you haven't been looking very hard...

First determine what size torx you need:

go to Sears, Radio Shack, and Big Box store and get what you need like these: should pay less than that.

if you have bits have you thought about a bit holder/socket that might give you the length you need

Northern Hydralics has what you posted about (torx screwdrivers)

hardware stores near your news server

this worked for me ordering a pizza the other night

works best in IE environment (netscape also uses the IE engine)

Diameter is that other measurement, perpendicular to length.

You could use the bits if you welded them to the end of a length of rod. I've done that when the "standard" drivers were just too short. Weld a cross piece on the other end for a "T" handle and have at it.

He WAS talking about diameter, the 1/4" hex on standard bits is about .280" "across the points" which is a LOT larger in diameter than the shanks on typical "handled" torx screwdrivers, particularly the smaller sizes.

Capice?

maybe you can find something like a set pf alan wrenches

little L's where the driver is no bigger than the tip but then again you'd probably hurt your hand... i mean... YOU would
