Taking apart MacBook Pro; non-standard screws?

[Mockingbird]

Hi all,

I am trying to take apart a MacBook Pro by following the instructions here: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Pro+17-Inch+Unibody+Teardown/618

Anyway, in the ifixit guide, all the screws are standard screws.

In the MacBook Pro that I am working on, most of the screws are pentalobe screws, but with a few tri lobe screws thrown in.

And? What is your question?

Where do I get these things?

HomeDepot ?

Okay, I'll do the obvious internet search for you.

Are you sure yours is the Regular unibody or retina unibody?

I know that, but I just want to run out to buy one (of each) and do a quick job.

I just used a multi screwdriver kit I bought at Home Depot for like $10

Not being American or living in America I have no idea where you could buy one other than online.

Wouldn't a hardware shop have the screw drivers your looking for? iFixit even sell a screw driver kit to handle this, think I have one... 

There's nothing "non-standard" about the screws at all, they're just not philips or flat head.
