ussexplorer Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I was wondering what local store or tool store would carry the Security hex set to open NES, Genesis and other game carts that require this silly item. I see them on ebay and figure it looks cheap enough if I could find a set at a local tool shop or place. It would be pretty cheap like 9.95 or 19.95. Thanks.....

moycon Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 What do the screws head look like? You mean with a pin sticking up in the middle of a star looking screw head? Also....Why not just buy one off eBay if you've seen em already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussexplorer Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 Well, I really only order stuff from ebay when I don't have any other choice. For instance say a local phone company is charging $100.00 for a handset and ebay is like $20.00. I figured with all the home improvement stores and tool people around sombody might know who I need to goto to pick a set up in person. Since the set can run 9.95 to 19.95 + S/H or even $7.00 for just one bit. My wife says she saw tons of those sets down in Arizona. Perhaps this is just an Idaho thing. But, I would like to support the local econemy sometimes. Later.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Fair enough. You forgot to mention what type of screw heads you're refering too though. What do they look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakpack Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 4.5 mm,3.8 mm? ok...4.5 mm I believe is for the screws on the system...SNES,TG16,etc and the 3.8 mm is for the carts ...so there !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I bought some security bits a couple months ago to remove an IPAC hard drive. Not sure if they're the same type of bits, since I don't know what a 4.5 or a 3.8 looks like. If they are what you need, you can have mine if I can find it.

moycon Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I'll check later when I get home ussexplorer, That doesn't look like the one I used...But there were like 5 bits in the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YarsRevengeFan Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I know that Carl sells them on his site: http://www.songbird-productions.com Check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Yeah, Songbird has them right here. It's a nice set that includes the tri-wing bits that you'd need for a lot of Gameboy or Gamecube stuff. Unfortunately, they charge $25 for the set, which is an awful lot in my opinion. Lik-Sang also sells some screwdrivers that would do the job... but they're asking $14 for each of them, which is even worse. I could have sworn I've seen the exact same kit that Songbird is selling, only for around $13 online somewhere... I can't seem to find it now though. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ze_ro Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Ah, there it is! $10 is a pretty decent price. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
