Other people have mentioned Sears as a good place to look for tools.
Back when I was searching for small torx drivers, I was able to find a
kit with T 10 and T 15 at a computer store near me. I tried Radio
Shack and couldn't get any other sizes. I asked at my favorite
hardware store, they said they could special order torx drivers
or bits for about $25 each with a two week delivery. Even though
I told them I was interested, for some reason they never called me
back to complete the deal. Having heard that Sears sometimes
had torx drivers, I went there in desperation, as I really needed a
T 8 at least. After a lot of searching, I found individual T 6 through
T 9 drivers for $1.79 each. Considering that I almost bought one for
$25, I bought one of each size just to make sure I had the proper one.
Looking at my receipt later, I saw that they had an unadvertised
sale charging me $1.50 each. The point of all this? Give them a try.
If you don't see what you need, ask. If they still don't have it, ask
how much it is to special order, you might be pleasantly surprised.
BTW, a T 8 will open most everything on a duo unless you want to
attack the screen - in that case you'll want a T 6.
