I went to all parts stores, Tractor Supply, and Sears looking for a T6 torque driver. Smallest they had was T10. Decided I would check Walmart. I saw T10 but nothing smaller and kept looking. Then I saw a 44 piece precision screwdriver set that had the T6 along with even smaller torque bits and other bits, all for 7-8 bucks. Nice and useful set. Just thought I would pass it along for others if they're looking.

Good to know!:)
I have also had reasonable success looking for small tools at Radio Shack, but looks like they are about to go bankrupt.:(

For the last 6-12 months, I have been working long hours, and just order almost everything from Amazon. They usually have what I want, and a reasonable price, plus saves me a trip.

They've looked like that every time I've been in one in the last 10 years or so.

Torx bits under T10 seem to be relegated to electronics repair sets. I found an all-in-one driver set at Home Depot when I needed one. Has one handle and the removable bits store in the handle, but it's tiny.

Harbor Freight is also a good source.

I agree they did for a while, then they moved all the old tech parts stuff off the walls and into drawers, and put phones and modern gadgets up front.
Looked a lot better but apparently did not help business.

I also buy a lot of stuff on line, but sometimes I need to hold it to understand the quality of the item.

Got a 100 piece set for ~$10 that has served me well.
