    Default Need bit to open nes power supplies.

    I just found 2-3 nes power supplies that work, but have broken shells. I have several (10+) broken/non working nes power supplies with nice unbroken shells. I want to swap out the parts into the new shells.

    I cant seem to find a bit that works for these. Anyone know where I can find one? I have tried needle nose pliers and they kinda work but not really well enough.

    I came in here expecting to suggest needlenose pliers, but I guess you've tried that. It worked well enough for me, but I have a nice small pair that could get in there pretty easily.

    The only other help I could give is to make one using just about any piece of steel rod of the right diameter and some time with a dremel tool. I'm thinking you could cut the large slot in something like a large allen wrench.
