Tri-wing screwdriver... Any highstreet stores selling this?

Emlyn_Dewar · 26 Jul 2011 at 11:40

Was hoping to get a Nintendo DS repaired this week but was in need of a tr-wing screwdriver. Obviously I turned to ebay and bought some cheap rubbish fro quick delivery and easy life.

It turned up today as an envelope full of fresh air, which was handy...
Have e-mailed and will see what they say but I'd prefer to get this out the way this week.

Rather than just buy another one from another seller, does anyone know of anywhere I could just go in and buy one?
I have to admit that I didn't know there was a 3 point screwdriver until the other day... :|
Would B&Q or ******s stock this kind of thing?

Cheers for any help.

I got a set of weirdly-shaped ones from Robert Dyas. (type "draper expert screwdriver 89729" into Google for pics/details). Not sure what size you need, but there are 3 tri-wing heads to choose from.

****** probably does.

EDIT: Hmm, they get filtered as a competitor. Oh well.

Nearest store is a bit far for me to travel today. 326 miles according to Google maps and their websites storefinder!

Still, it gives me hope that there might be some out there!

Just realised that the forum is now blocking that word.
Hmm.

******s? They always seem to have random stuff.

There goes my suggestion then

Where's this asterisk shop you people speak of?

Emlyn_Dewar · 26 Jul 2011 at 12:40

Might actually be worth it, did find an ebay seller a couple of miles away selling them but he doesnt do local pickup unfortunately.

Less likely to end up with an envelope of invisible nothingness if it's sent from a member on here.

A couple of shops I've phoned so far have just given an "I don't think so" answer.

Curse you Nintendo!

A popular electronics retailer, it is a competitor but also sells some generic tools.
