What I found at Sears was a set of several different bits including torx safety bits from T-10 to T-40.

I've also found individual bits at Ace Hardware.

I don't know where in Boston you live but if you are not too far from Warwick you can check out the Harbor Freight store. I bought a set for $10.

I know Boston really well cause I go there all the time. Unfortunately, there isn't a Pep Boys in Boston. Have you called the Sears in Burlington Mall? Home Depot, AutoZone, and Lowes do not carry those bits. Or look up phone book for small hardware store in Waltham or Newton or perhaps Framingham. I am trying to think of a hardware store around Boston. If I remember a store tonight, I will PM you. Oh, also call the Black and Decker factory outlet store in Franklin (exit 15 on 495N).

Guys, I've found torx bits but I'm looking for one that is tamper. It looks like this, see pic below. Notice it has a hole in the middle. Big difference then the normal torx bits that are out there.

porschedude- I called Sear in Burlington, na da.

Made more calls last night. My local Napa store said he might be able to get me one. To give him a call this AM.
Also, called Pep Boys in Salem, NH about 16 miles north from where I live, I MIGHT take a ride later on but I don't think the guy that I was talking to over the phone knows the difference. I had to tell him 3x that I was looking for one that is "tamper". As he was shouting to some clerk to go look for t 20. Never said tamper. I don't have a good feeling.
I'll find one eventually....
