Does anyone know where to get these other than Ebay for a good price? I tryed some local stores around here and no one has them or knows anyone that does. I guess i shouldn't of lost mine
You can easily make your own. Get a plastic pen, or something else long, and round, and plastic. Heat up the end until it gets soft. Then stick it on a security screw, thats' still in a cartridge. Let it cool, then when you remove it, it should still retain the shape of the security screw.

Yep this was my old trick It works for a while but the plastic is weak and once you get a really tight screw you'll shear off the "bit" nodules. I went through about 5 pens and just gave up and bought a metal one.
The closest I got to finding the right one was an electronics repair kit at Radio Shack, but the diameter was just off by an eighth of an inch I think. This is definitely a htf electrician thing though, sears, home despot, lowes, nobody had anything remotely like it.
