    Default WTB: 3.8mm gamebit

    I had an older thread, but I can't edit the title, so it would get minimal relevent views.
    I'm looking for a 3.8mm (99.9% sure it's 3.8mm, the one that opens nes/snes/n64 carts).
    I ordered one off ebay, but it was defective, and I sent it back for an exchange, and the guy supposedly shipped it, but I think he didn't want to bother with the extra dollar to ship it back, so I'd rather buy it from a dp member.
    I have paypal, and a few refrences at atariage, and one at cheapassgamer, and can provide these if needed.
    Thanks

    I think I must have bought from the same seller, because I got two useless bits.

    There are tons of really shoddily manufactured bits out there. I'm guessing yours either doesn't grip the screws well and/or is so thick that it can't even fit in the holes without putting all your strength into it? If it's just the latter, you could try filing it down a bit. Good luck finding a good bit. At least a forum user here can confirm if one works well, unlike the big stores.

    Mine actually accomplishes both. I'd love to know of someone who could sell reliable ones.

    Mine didn't grip the screws at all.
    I got my money back, and he has the defective bit, but I thought if a forum member had one that they didn't need, I'd buy that, to a) know it works, and b) not buy from people selling horrible goods.

    One last try before I go to ebay.
    I've got 12.66 canadian, but I'd rather not spend all this.
    Anyone?
