Hacking Screwdrivers for wii

[loz_the_guru]

Last time I opened my wii i used this set:

but the tips have worn out already. The screwdrivers dont seem to say what size they are, although I believe I need a triwing size 1. All the other sets on DX seem t have triwings bigger than this, and ive no idea what size philips driver I need.

Any tips?

I guess if you worned them out , your screwed (joke hehe)
Triwing screws are incredibly annoying, I didn't realize I needed a triwing screwdriver, so now have to wait till it arrives then I can chip mine.

That's the set I have and for the price, I'm not sure you can beat it.

Even if you have to buy them a 3rd time, for the whole set it's cheaper then buying the more expensive ones. Unless you plan on opening your Wii a ton of other times, just buy the same set again.

I have to agree with the poster above. I've got 2 sets of these. For the price, you'd expect them to be throwaway practically.

LOL do what i did when i modded my wii... i used a powerdrill and i just drilled off the screws till they fell off and then went to the local hardware store and found the same size screws for like 5 cents... so then next time i need to open it, its easier...

I don;t recommend this. For $1.50 you can do it the right way and not worry about it.

$1.50 ~ £0.75

Wow thats cheap! I paid £6.00 just fr a tri wing!

I could have bought 8 of these instead.

I got mine from Partneringco when I needed a new DS shell and touchscreen. Works great, shows no sign of wear and comes with a small + shape screwdriver for internal screws as well. I've opened some GC controllers with this as well with no problems.

£6 for 1 triwing

The fela who i get my chips from gives me a free one each time
