Anyone have the screwdriver that opens up a MacBook? Screen died and the iPhone screwdriver one is too small. Hoping my monitor connector is just loose or a 2013 Retina is going on eBay. looks like it’s a Pentalobe P5 ---

I’ll check. It seems it’s a torx T5 and T8 and a Philips [#00](http://www.nyspeed.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=00) are the main ones but the P5 Pentalobe is the one I think is hard to find. ---

Harbor Fright has a multi bit kit that has the p5 in it. Don’t know the part number, but it’s a red plastic case, maybe 4"x6"x1". ---

I bought my set at Radio Shack. Not sure if they’re still a thing or not. ---

If you don’t have prime I’m sure one of you friends/family does. Could get it here tomorrow for $3.99 shipping. ---

Yea was hoping someone had one locally I could swipe for a few hours to try to look at this laptop before bringing it into Apple. That may be the best shot to order tonight and get tomorrow. ---

That may be the best shot to order tonight and get tomorrow. You’ve only got 48 minutes left to order it today and get it tomorrow according to my Amazon account.
