Hi
I'm after a set of security screwdrivers. The flat, two-prong type. I've found a set of four in the States, but they don't post to the UK.
The shaft needs to be 5.5mm max and the security bit sets, one of which I have, are too fat by the time they're placed in the holder.
Has anyone a suggestion for a stockist. Ebay has the tri point type but not the flat.

I'd expect RS Components to have this sort of thing.
These any good?
Yes, I should have thought about RS. I'll have a look, thanks.
I have a set of security bits bought from maplin. Had the same problem with them being too fat to fit. Bought a set of flat bladed drivers and slotted them myself with on of those little rotary tools
Ditto, it's easier to make your own.
Although dealextreme do quite a few variations on electronics/cellphone screwdrivers and sets for no money at all.
Many brains make light work. Well, toaster ! Cheers.
I found a quick touch of the blade of a flat screwdriver on the edge of a bench grinder wheel gave me an exact fit when I needed one of these.

Kamasa have a reasonable range of precision (read: smaller than standard) bits. Available from Isaac Lord inter alia.
But looks like you'd have to fettle a normal bit into a security bit.
If you really wish to push the boat out...

The holder is two and a half inches away from the tip of the bit. These are not the normal short bits. However the maximum diameter (hexagonal cross section shaft) is around 7mm.
OK, I'm standing in the naughty corner :-)
