Tri-wing and other Security Bits

[Ktownphoneco]

This falls under the "FYI" category, but for those looking for a complete set of screw driver bits, including many which will fit most of the common security screws, Lee Valley tools have a 99 piece set available through both their Canadian web site, and their U.S.A. web site.     The company is known for carrying quality tools, and although the price for the set is more than has been quoted here, it's also a larger set.     I purchased one some time ago, and it's come in handy many times over.    The company usually has a "Free Shipping" event about every 6 weeks, for purchases of $40.00 or more.     Canadian orders ship from Ottawa, Ont., & U.S. orders ship from Ogdensburg, NY.

I have a few of these sets, even some that are harder to find, such as 5 point security torx. (standard security torx has 6 points) the 5 point torx used to be hard to find, due to the companies that made em not wanting everyone to have em. I found the Snap On dealers will sell them to anyone though, even though the catalog said "for authorized OEM's only..." Dealer told me, "you always pay in cash, you're authorized!" there are generic versions of the 5 point torx now all over ebay and amazon, so they are easy to get.
if you own it, you have the right to take it apart.
