People who changed steering wheels on their own: Where do I get that T20 screwdriver?

WWONG · 10-30-2010, 11:31 AM

Hey guys.

I need that T-20 screwdriver to remove my airbag and retrofit the 2011 paddle shifters when they come. Where did you buy it? I don't have Torx drivers that are long enough. I tried The Home Depot and Lowe's, but they only have one or two different sets and nothing long and thin enough. I also tried AutoZone. Anyone have any recommendations?

Did you try Sears?

Kragen? Napa? Not sure if you have those, also if there is a tool supply place - not a home improvment store - just tools, they should have a pretty big automotive tools section and i'm sure you could find something there.

Had to go buy a pack of spline sockets the other day to do the clutch in my moms car, and Harbor Freight Tools was the only place I could find them. (I was later told by my co worker to never buy anything important from harbor freight since it's junk; i.e. no jack stands unless I want to die)

Almost anywhere they sell tools, they're pretty common.
