Tri-wing?
Like this???Tri-Wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If it has a recess like a Wankel rotor it is called a TP3.

Slang is the N64 bit. You can buy them at Harbor Freight probably/still. I think it came in the 33 or 100 piece bit set. Either set is under $10.00

The Harbor Freight 100 piece set #91310 has them (just checked mine). Though if you are taking delicate things apart like I do, such as game cartridges to replace the SMT batteries, you might find this type useful instead

Laptop Apple Macbook Screwdriver - Security Tri-wing - eBay (item 310191339623 end time Jan-04-10 20:04:21 PST)

This auction has a useful chart.

There is a company that carries everything you could think of and then some called Cyberguys.com - Computer Parts, Cables and Accessories. Hard to Find Computer Parts. I order occasionally from their paper catalog, so they are legitimate.

Jim and Rebocardo,
Gracias AMIGOS for the info, I m going to try to find them in my Country (I live in Mexico), if not maybe I try to buy them in USA, the problem is the cost and time for the importation.

Sorry, I did not think to check your profile.
I hope they are easily available to you in Mexico..
Surely your son will appreciate it.
