Ive been a browser of this site for a while, and figured this would be a good place to ask since most people here probably have one
Where do you guys buy your gaming security bits? the 3.5 and 4.5mm ones for poping old cart games?
I'm getting quite pissed with these things. I got a 3.8 and 4.5mm security bit from nintnentorepairshop.com
http://www.nintendorepairshop.com/produ ... GA-Repair/
well they were garbage, the genesis one stripped out after less than a dozen carts and is useless, and the nintendo one stripped out too but i can still kinda use it. (btw dont trust that site, it seems they dont list negative reviews, they didn't post my review on it)
so i tried nintendorepairhut.com which was good when i got a NES controller and power adapter from them
http://www.nintendorepairhut.com/repair ... plies.html
they assured me by email that they used good quality bits. They arrived yesterday and the NES one seems mediocre quality, but the 4.5mm genesis bit was milled wrong and already looked rounded out >_<
grrr im getting very upset, i need to finish cleaning the last few dozen Genesis carts i have. Where can i get a QUALITY genesis cart bit?! 4.5mm is the right size right? I want a good hardened steel one, like you could get in a regular hardware store. I wish snap on made these things. Where can i find one? where did you guys get yours? I dont want to try buying another one randomly and getting garbage
i did find this with google:
http://www.newelectronx.com/proddetail. ... mm-gamebit
but dunno if thats any good. they claim they are hardened steel but they look a lot like the cheap nintendorepairshop ones. And I guess theres all kinda of different qualities of hardened steel
hopefully someone can help me out by pointing me in the right direction, i really want something thats going to work
