    Anyone have a Torx bit supplier size T3, T4, and T5?

    I use them for hard drives and laptops. I’d like to buy like 10-20 of each, and I can only find them in sets up to T10. I don’t need anything above T5 as I have several of those already it’s the tiny ones that wear out fast.



    I have seen some in bulk from China for like 5 cents each! But I’d have to buy at least 7000.. haha.

    Anyone know of a bulk supplier for small torx bits where I don’t have to buy so many?

    I bought some similar to these because they are long enough to take screws out of towers and still use them on hard drives. Mike

    Don't know about a bulk supplier..........what I do is touch the end to a grinder. This removes the rounded part off exposing new teeth. You could do same with a file, and repeat until not useable any more.

    I bought a "mini" set from a home supply box store. Bulk sizes, unfortunately, not available there.

    This is not a new idea as others have probably done this. Not seeing anything similar to rejuvenate bits, figured I'd post a suggestion.

    If you use a power driver you will be happier. I have three of the older 12v Ryobi drivers each with a different bit in it to keep production moving. Even dismantling hard drives is so much quicker. Mike
