I have been looking around in many stores in the Netherlands now and have not been able to find one anywhere :(

Ordering from Amazon is not an option, because shipping on this 1,12 GBP item would be 2,90 GBP :P

Like literally every home depot ever?

We don't have home depots in NL, but I have looked in many, if not all construction shops and stuff.

And I have looked through many bins of screwdriver sets to find it..

Simply Gamma, Brico or any DIY store should have this.

 

(Guess where I live :P )

I have looked at Gamma multiple times, but was not able to find it :o

I guess I'll be going there and some other stores I know on Monday (or wait, they will be closed on Monday  :angry: )

 

I'm pretty sure a security bit set I picked up has that weird bit

That bit is used for many Nintendo consoles/handhelds by the way

well I got mine from the dollar store version of a home depot. cheap ass tools I think I got my set for under $5

 

phone up your tool store and ask if they carry security bits. I had to pick up mine to get into the ignition of a car, they're also used for a lot of tamper proofing screws I've seen them used to hold down toilet roll dispensers on public washrooms to keep people from mischief.

Yeah, I heard people would often steal toilet paper rolls from public bathrooms :P Pretty sad ..

I will look in the store and if I can find some multi bit screwdriver with one of those ends, that would be best :)

phone first. I rarely see security bits being sold.... well for obvious reasons I guess. out of all the times I've been to home depot here I don't think I've seen them sell security bits. if anything maybe phone up automotive tools places as well

this was the exact cheap ass set I got. I'm guessing its the second row down furtherst right

Deal extreme.

If I don't find it in any of these stores, I will order it from there yeah..

Didn't want to wait 2 weeks or so to get it, but if that is what it takes to get one of these.. I'll do it.

let me grab my multibit screwdriver set and see if i got one that seems to match with the SP screws(got others to, but stored away somewhere)

 

Just be sure the gamecube stays alive(assuming it is) those things are gold imo

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Yeah, maybe I wont do the GameCube.. I've done some research some time ago and you really can't do much with it open (the most you can do is clean the buttons and blow some dust out of it with canned air)

I got mine from there. It took a little while. It was worth not having to search everywhere else..... and cheap.
