Where is the Shield console teardown?

I brought the controller to the hardware store and found that a T6 fit perfect. I bought it and used it, worked fine. I know the description says T7. May be a mistake

Farrid is Correct I have both a T7 and T6 Screwdriver and the T7 IS TOO BIG!, T6 fits perfectly. Just a heads up to anyone who needs to go out and but a Single screwdriver.

You are right. It’s T6, not T7.
