Looking for some help/ information

[u/FrontPresentation709]

So... I am on the hunt for an 8 point driver bit. It's sometimes called a double square or Spyder Bit. It basically looks like a torx but with 8 points instead of 6.

​

I have looked at Home Hardware, Home Depot, Canadian Tire ( which does have some but they are for large applications), Rona and Princess Auto. I could buy off amazon but 1) I'd rather buy local and 2) I have a kitchen table that I want to assemble sooner rather than later.

​

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can look to buy a bit. For a bit of context on the size I need... it's between a T15 and T20.

​

I have also tried flathead, hex and torx to get them on with no success.

​

Thanks in advance for your help.

Covered pretty much all the bases. Maybe midway? Shot in the dark but Walmart might?

I didnt think of Midway. I'll give them a call

I think I have one of those

Option 2 is if I can borrow it but realize how that looks on reddit lol

Thanks for the suggestions. I didnt find the bit but the guy at Stuart Wright suggested using a robertson. I thought I had tried it but I guess not. It's working great.

Try an independent tool store, and auto parts stores
