I went looking specifically for a Torx bit to fit the screws on Hard Drives. Figured out they're actually T8 (not T10 as someone said). As every common set starts with T10 and goes up, I was having quite a time. Started at Radio Shack and got a cheap set of Trox bits but at least I had a T8, even if it didn't fit my cordless drill, which I was hoping for. The guy at Radio hack suggested Lowe's so off I went. No luck there. Decided to try Best Buy. Couldn't get anybody to wait on me so started to leave. Young girl asked if she could help me. Told her I was looking for a Torx set that included a T8. She got a "deer in the headlights" look so I tried explaining what it was. She turned over to a couple guys so told them what I was looking for "to tear apart hard drives". He asked "why do you want to do that?" "cause that's what I do". Another guy got in on it and said "Sell him one of those computer repair tool kits". When he went and brought it out, it was EXACTLY what I wanted-
Dynex Computer Tool Kit
I tried taking pictures of mine to put here but they came out too dark. This is it, exactly, though: Dynex Computer Tool Kit DX-TOLKITGS - Best Buy (click on the thumbnail to see inside the package)
At $29.99, it might seem a little pricy, but there's everything you're going to need. Even an IC chip extracting tool. And they fit my Milwaukee cordless drill so I wont kill my wrists.
