You can find pentalobe screwdrivers on iFixit's online store, or Amazon. They're exotic but not that hard to find.
BTW, this article is a submarine (see Paul Graham's submarine PR essay) for iFixit, at least partially.
- revelation 14y agoIf thats submarine PR, then this [1] article is the nuclear option :) [1]: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/10/13-macbook-pro-teardown-easy-ssd-trackpad-access-no-room-for-ram/ http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/10/13-macbook-pro-teardown...
- ghshephard 14y agoMy reading from the story was the iFixit guys hadn't found a screwdriver they were happy with yet. "iFixit is doing what it can to source screwdrivers to work with the new screws, though it notes that there doesn't appear to be a single reputable supplier that carries the same tools Apple technicians use." "Wiens notes that the pentalobe driver isn't perfect—"the tip is more star-shaped than "flowery"—but it can remove Apple's pesky replacements and "liberate" your iPhone."
