Where do you guys get your screwdrivers from for opening up Nintendo 64, GameBoy, DS, GBA, 3DS, Wii U, SNES, etc. from?

What are some trusted sellers and brands? Preferably on eBay or anywhere that accepts PayPal.

Amazon

Any particular brand or seller?

No. They're cheap as fuck. If one breaks, just buy another. That said, I bought a pair 4 or 5 years ago and I've had no problems with them.
>>
Search for them not as "gaming security bit" or whatever the fuck, but rather just by their stock identification numbers. In which case you want 22-1145 and 22-1150. That way you'll get like hardware stores selling them who won't try to gyp you via the retro gaming bubble.

For the most part, anyway.

I found this on Play-Asia. Looks trust-worthy and cheap.

Make sure you know what you are getting. The 4.5 mm bits are for opening up consoles. The 3.8 mm bits are for games.
>>
>>3423353
Yes, thanks.

What about the Triwing screwdriver?
>>
It's a screw driver bit , wtf would be untrustworthy about it?

eBay or AliExpress

> trusted sellers

Its $1 part.

Amazon

This, I needed one of the special bits to take apart Gameboys and paid $.75, will be here sometime before the heat-death of the universe because china shipping but with items like that I just buy and forget so they show up randomly one day.

A buddy of mine told me he opened up his snes by taking a regular plastic fountain pen with a flat cap on the non-writing end, heating it with a lighter, pressing it into one of those security screws so that the pen molds to the screw head, letting it cool for a bit, and using it as a screwdriver once it's cooled down.

Nice selective reading. Lynch yourself, you stupid nigger.

Word of advice: get the screwdrivers, not the bits. Some consoles have deep-set screws and bit drivers are too wide to fit.
>>
>>3422338
You already mentioned eBay
>>
>>3423407
Some screw drivers are made of cheap metals and damage easily, hence the untrustworthy.
>>
>>3428941
I bought the first and cheapest ones I found straight from china(both gamebits and the tri-something that is used on some consoles/handhelds/carts) and they have lasted me years on moderate usage.

>>3423380
I know Gameboys use them, but I'm not sure what else does.
