It's a #8 torx screwdriver.  Supposedly any electronics store has them, also
auto parts stores (but the one here didn't, last month).  Radio Shack
carries a neat little ratchet set with interchangeable bits including 3 torx
tips for less than $10, which works perfectly for getting inside the PB case
*but* I understand for some purposes a longer shaft is necessary.

Best,
Victoria
