    Nintendo style screwbit 4.5mm - can you get it on maplins?

    Looking for the screwbit that lets you open the N64. Lik-sang call it the gamebit 4.5mm. Can you get it from maplin.co.uk ? Wasn't sure what I was looking for. Please can someone find me a link if they do?
    Alternatively, is anyone prepared to post me one to borrow for a couple of days?
    Many thanks

    Hiya

    AFAIK, Maplins don' t sell them, PM me and I'll lend you mine, unless you have sorted one out.

    P.S. Is it for opening up a Cube/N64?

      You could make a nice little sideline out of this dude.
      After you loaned me one for a couple of weeks.

              Maplin have never sold them, but RS do. I got mine from an RS warehouse outlet.

                I made my own screwdriver for the Snes/N64.

                I'd show you a pic but I don't have a digi camera.

                Basically I took an ordinary one, ground it down quite to a thin taper, then filed out the centre so it fitted over the protruding head of the screw and the edges fitted into opposite cutouts of the screw.

                You'll need access to a workshop of some sort though.

                  Thanks for all the offers and tips peeps (being sent one soon).
                  If their was anything I learnt in my short time as an engineer, it was "right tool for the job".
