Re: Looking for Torx T4 screwdriver

["Robert G. (Doc) Savage" <dsavage@peaknet.net>]

Robert,

No. The Torx T5 is the smallest bit size I have, and it is just a hair
too big. These screws are so tiny and delicate that using anything but
"the right tool" will ruin any chance I have of recovering the data on
that drive.

Thanks to those who suggested Sears Hardware, Loew's, Ace, and other
hardware stores. I've tried them all, and the smallest Torx bits they
have are T10. That's considerably larger than any of the four that came
with the microprecision screwdriver set I bought at Sears on Tuesday
night.

Anyone with a Pentel 0.5mm automatic pencil will have a rough idea how
tiny a T4 bit is.
