My local Sears stores both did not carry the T27. On advice from members from this Forum I went to Lowes and found a set which contained the T27 and also has lifetime warranty.

That's what I did, I think it cost like $15-$20, and has a T25 which you will need too

I bought a set of Torx sockets from autozone. most of them now have the tips twisted off. Haven't had that problem with the Craftsman set, yet.

i have two of these sets, bought the first one at regular price and the second was a craftsman club special at 1/2 price. My first sets t27 broke, but craftsman did have a 3 piece set, t27 and two huge torx bits in stock locally.

I was lucky and found an actual T-27 long neck screwdriver at Sears. Craftsman brand. Working great so far.

Picked up a decent set at Ace hardware store, it has the T27, I think the set was about $35.
I also have a super rugged set from SK tools, but that set was amost $100..

I have a set from Advance Auto Parts (rail set) that has the T27 in it. Bought it just for that reason. All my other hand tools are Snap-On.
