Default The Ultimate Console modder tool?

ThinkGeek :: Console Access Pro Tool Kit

Opens every major current console and handheld on the market!
Console game makers really give you a hard time when you try to open their goodies. I mean, you're only trying to install a fan, aftermarket heatsink, a light, or maybe perhaps a multi-prong emulator chip that bypasses the internal BIOS allowing for homebrew exploitation. What's wrong with that?
They certainly don't make it easy. It's not like the XBox 360 is held together with duct-tape and velcro, oh no! They made it so hard to get the cover off the thing, they had to invent a new tool to crack open the case. Besides that, you can't just use a straight-up phillips head screwdriver - you've got to dig out a special long-neck tamper-resistant torx bit. Good luck, dude.
Just 'cause you like to tinker doesn't mean you should be treated like a second-class citizen. So, it was with that in mind that we gathered all the tools necessary to disassemble every next-gen console out there (and a few old consoles, too). It's a one-stop-shop of toolness (is that even a word?) so you're not constantly lugging around a huge toolbox when you only need a few simple pieces. It's got everything you need. Check out the list below!

  • Nintendo Wii, GameCube, GBA, DS, DS Lite, and most accessories
  • Sony PS3, PS2, PStwo, and PSP and many accessories
For 20 bux, that beats having to buy a bunch of separate tools. Plus, some of those are good for other things (like messing with public institution doors, handles, etc >.> )

Or you can just go to the hardware store and get the individual drivers or bits for the size screws you need. Probably total about $5.

I second that. I buy my shiz from Sears. Craftsman tools are good, affordable products with a great warranty! =)

Check the local Ace Hardware, if they don't have it in stock, they can order it (no shipping to you) for about the same or possibly less.

Ace - Ace Tree: Tools: Power Tools: Drills & Screwdrivers: Power Screwdrivers & Nutsetters: Power Screwdriver Bits: Best Way® 36 Piece Power Bit Set (24379)

Ace - security bit kits







Thanks HL and Corsair!
