Hi Richard,

There's two electronics shops in Wright St in the city,
roughly opposite each other.  From memory, Force stock
the Altronics catalogue and the other shop is Jaycar.
Both are real electronics components shops, but are
increasingly retail.  So they may have to order and
the staff have less clue that you would hope.

They both have Torx bit sets for an electric screwdriver
or drill (as part of a set containing a huge range bits for odd
screwheads).  You can also buy a manual bit-holding screwdriver.
I've got a standard one, but I'd strongly recommend that you buy
one that uses magnetism to hold the bit in place.

There's two versions of Torx (standard and security) so
take in the bit of kit if you can.

Glen
