Cheers JoshI had the same problem mate, luckily one of the neighbours had a set of star screwdrivers when I needed them. If you can't find any your best going to B&Q or another DIY place and buy a set. Not sure how much they are though Edited January 24, 2008 by wwwd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I bought a fantastic set of screwdrivers from Machine Mart a few months back. They're Clarke (which I highly recommend for good tools at reasonable prices), come in a handy, compact carry case, and there's every size, shape and all sorts in there. Even oddball ones, adaptors and flexi-extensions for getting in the most awkward of place It's been invaluable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
