Laptops Need a specific (screw)driver

[sid41299]

I recently bought a 2015 MacBook Pro (A1502), and I found that it uses (1.2mm?) P5 Pentalobe screws for the bottom cover. Problem is, I can't exactly buy a whole new electronics screwdriver set just for one bit (I already have a set of 16 bits and other stuff), and buying just one screwdriver online is ridiculous (...right?). It wasn't even a problem until now, but summer is really taking its toll. Any advice?

Any reason why you don't want to buy the ones available on Amazon.

Like I said, I already have a great driver set with 16 bits and other tools, so I can't justify spending 800-1000 on a brand new one just for one bit

Check amazon, recently I noticed that there were some Taparia single screwdrivers. You may find a single piece may not be from Taparia but a single one.

I did find single ones (not from Taparia, as you said) but they alone cost 300-400

I bought a 3rd party battery, and it came with a pentalobe driver
