Anyone know where I can buy individual Whia tools? I have my trusty old toolkit, but I need to augment it with some great apple specials, like a triwing, pentalobe, #00 philips, and a few other random drivers. I don't need a whole kit though, far from it. But all I can find are whole kits for sale. My bought my current tools individually, but it was 10 years ago and I cannot remember where I got them.

if you are interested in nice tools, especially in electronics. You should be aware of the JIS standard "phillips" screws.

http://www.instructables.com/id/When-a-Phillips-is-not-a-Phillips/step10/JIS-Japanese-Industrial-Standard/

basically, any japanese/asian "phillips" screw is actually a JIS socket... this is why they can be easy to round out on japanese cars and motorcycles.
