Hi,

Does anyone know the cheapest place to get a Torx T6 Screwdriver from ? I 
dont want to use EBAY.

Many thanks.

Halfords would probably have one, or a local tool shop. Both will be much 
cheaper than buying online once you add postage.

Might be the sort of thing you'd find in a "cheap shop" perhaps in a set. 
I'm amazed at the quality these days of the cheap tools you can find in such 
places. Years ago you'd buy a screwdriver or pair of pliers from that sort 
of place and find it would have been better if it had been made of 
chocolate. Mind you with the revaluation of the Chinese Yuan things might 
not be quite so cheap in future.

Some ?10 years ago, I bought a cordless drill when my Black & Decker was
?misplaced/lost.  This one was highly recommended in a comparative review in
the Which magazine.  Initially I had difficulty in locating a supplier.  So
when eventually I found one and was told there were only about 160 left in
the whole country, I rushed out to this tool shop 15 miles away to snatch it
up, for 116 (12V variable speed in a case; a Draper too, no kidding!).  Who
would have thought one could easily pick one up for 20 now, and even less
in Netto's special offers?

Tools are so cheap these days that I have collected, with good intention
(One day, they will become quite handy!"), many times over the number and
the variety of tools I'll ever need!

Not only tools.  In fact nearly *everything* is so much cheaper, in real
terms.  It's a whole new economy.

Maplin have a 3x set with TX05, TX06 and TX07 for 2.99 - item N10BB. If 
you have one locally that's probably your best bet, looking on the 
website they seem to be a bit better than the crappy christmas-cracker 
ones you tend to get from the pound-shop places.

I actually got their precision set last month for a tenner - one of the 
few sets which comes with a 000 cross-head, and proper quality construction.
