T20 Tampered Proof torx

[fab]

I've been to 3 stores, autozone 2x, napa, sears hardware.
And made calls to other autozones, napa. sears with no success. Even tried calling HomeDepot/Lowes
Sears.com has it 2 day shipping.

Why is it so....... hard to find this tool in a store?

Every Sears I've been to for tools has had them,are you sure your looking in the correct places?

Blink, yeah I went to my local sears hardware store grant it's very small but they have a large tool section. The sales person and I looked everywhere, behind the glass cases, nothing.
I ended up calling Sears (different store) and spoke with someone in tools and they do not have the tool in stock.
Frustrating....

I found a set of bits in Torx Security at Pep Boys. No driver with 'em... and they cost about $6 IIRC.

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).

Harbor freight sells them as well.
