Default Torx T6

Does anyone know what sort of shop will sell these?

Looked on Halfords/Homebase/B&Q websites and the smallest I could find was a T8. Specifically need the T6, if anyone can suggest a source.

Thats what its for opening a mobly phone. A lot of tool shops I've scoured only go down to T8 thats all. The T6 is a 1.7mm head. Ordered one off ebay for like 99p, but I'm getting impatient and want one today.

Searching yell.com for local phone shops in Scunny. Can't be bothered waiting any more and want to find one local, so I can be busy.

Looked in there yesterday as I needed tax disc holder pads (new windscreen). Smallest I found was a T8 mate

Wonder if this is it... Halfords Professional Star Bit T6 1/4" Socket from Halfords Price £3.19 Extra 10% Off Everything*

Wasn't there last night. May have to go investigate, although it seems expensive for what it essentially is

agree with the halfords web site, it is bobbins. I was recently after some torx sockets and the website didnt list the one I needed. Trip to halford and there sitting in the tool cupboard was the bit needed

as said though, most smaller mobile phone shops (the independant type) will have them as well as electrical shops

I think I bought it from the guy you mention - a WEEK AGO. Yeah for a small drill bit. Will be getting a email soon, as 99p is a packet of Haribo Tangfastics
