Where to buy MacBook Air 5-Point Screwdriver, link?

Where did you get confirmation that this is the "official" screwdriver?

Here : http://www.macbidouille.com/news/2010/12/07/le-kit-officiel-de-demontage-du-macbook-air-2010-dans-le-detail

Got a reply from iFixit. They can't replicate the official one, it's illegal...
They said mine was maybe too small, replacement driver is on its way.

is it possible to buy the "official" purple one from that website?

I just ordered one from a Hong Kong seller on eBay. For $9.99 I figured it was worth a shot. I'll keep you posted if/when it arrives.

That's not a Torx Security screwdriver, size T5, that's needed to remove the bottom.

It is the right one to open the bottom. Apple didn't use Torx security screws, they used 5 point Torx screws. That is the proper driver.

Hi folks,

I saw ifixit.com sold this item, but now its out-of-stock indefinately.. I would really like to buy a MacBook Air 5-Point Screwdriver (for the bottom plate on my MacBook Air 11.6') as soon as possible, but can't find one on the net. I anyone know of a webstore that sells this screwdriver, a link would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Toyo Tools in Akihabara. About 2min walk from South exit along the Yamanote line.　Oops, they don't sell on the web

OWC says that they're packaging "tools" in with the new SSD for the 2010 Macbook Air. Maybe they'll start selling them separately. Who knows, but at least there's another reputable source out there.
