    I know maplins do sets but they are not cheap. Also amazon do them.

    You mind if i ask why your taking it apart?

    Thanks. Don't see any on Maplins site. The sets seem to have the normal Torx, not the ones with hole in centre. Was hoping to get one locally rather than online. I found a set in Woodies that had the right size bit I think but it was 32 euro, so didn't want to spend that much!

    Looking for these to clean out PS4 fan as has gotten Very Loud lately.

    If they are that expensive in woodies ther likely to cost a fortune in maplins. A lot of money for something that probably wont see a lot of use.

    Id get it on amazon man,its likely to cost you less than €10 on there for the one you need.

    Ones with the hole are called security torx. I got a set like this before for £5 years ago on eBay, should get something similar somewhere...

    Phone local hardware and ask, usually way cheaper than the big chains for odd bits.

    Try a proper tool shop, they usually sell them individually or the bit/set of same. Got a set a while back in McQuillans in Dublin.

    Sorted- Hardware shop in Donaghmede
    Same set for 13 in Maplins, was only 5 Euro (reduced from 8).
    Case opened, dust removed, hopefully it helps with the fan noise.

    They have everything in that little shop and far cheaper than most places.
