MCM Electronics has just informed me that they have stopped production, are out of, and will no longer carry the tool kit with the driver and 2 game bits.
So, what me and a few other people have is all the remaining stock of this item that will ever be made. I have stopped listing and relisting them today to make sure I have anough stock left to fill all orders. What is on ebay now, is all that's left. Tonight, I will also be removing them from my store. Then, I will be listing what I have left slowly so I can keep track of my stock (And yes, probably at a higher price)
So, if you want one, get em now :) No, this is not a cheap shot at advertising, you can verify with MCM.
As far as I know, the site says they still have 36 of the kits (Which is an error, they didn't have any left they informed me via e-mail).

Acutally, that link is just to the BITS, which are still in stock (hopefully for a long time)

That's a link to the 10 remaining tool kits I have on ebay.

mmm.... I don't think you need to panic hydrox. MCM aren't the only maker of security bit tools. You can buy these sets all day long, as many as you want from any well stocked hardware/industrial tool store. Security bits weren't made specifically for Nintendo.

The BITS aren't going out of stock, and yes, they will be available for a long time (hopefully). The KIT is no longer available.
BUT, getting both bits, and a long thin-shank driver capable of using both bits, available for such a low price, will NOT happen again. MCM has the bits for $4 each. Lik-Sang and various other overseas places have the bits or drivers for $10 or $15 EACH.
A main advantage to this, for example, is the gamecube. It uses the 4.5mm bit, but I haven't found any other driver thin enough to go all the way in there to use the bit with (I haven't looked to hard either, so don't jump on me)

This is the most invaluable toolset any gamer could own. I've had mine for around two months and I use it almost everyday.
I also highly recommend Sylentwulf as a seller (if he has any left)!
BUY ONE.

There's nothing special about that driver, really. The price is excellent, yes. The driver is standard and many companies make it, and in much higher quality too. The only real advantage to the MCM deal was the packaging of all of them at that price. You can pick up that driver at home depot or sears.

Whew..Oh man I should of bought this Kit so long ago..What a stupid A I was..
I got the kit today,shipped fast and packed well..very professional seller..
I started opening all kinds of things I alwayls wanted to open and I'm just starting...
I had to pack a NES I sold and I opened up the carts to clean them//Damn it's so easy now..
This kit is not cheap stuff..this is high quality stuff..
I will admit that I was pissed off when I didn't see the NES securty bits right away and started cursing only to say to myself.."Hey stupid look in the Driver itself"..I had a top loader sitting on the table and I was saying"where the hell are they"(I needed my morning coffee)
Putting them in the driver is a very smart move and that's where I keep them still..
I'm very happy with this kit and thank goodness for this post/topic because I may have missed out on this great set.
What I's like to know is..
Is there any other size bits that I can buy...that are similar to the NES cart bits.?
Thanks to the seller(Sylentwulf) for offering such a great set..
