Ah - one of them Torx drivers.  You can get them from places like
Halfords and other car shops, Maplin, etc., for very much less than �45.

The best place to look is probably a local engineering suppliers - have
a peek in the Yellow Pages.  They normally have a better selection at
lower prices than places like Maplin (in fact, I bought a set of driver
bits from Brabbin and Rudd (local engineering suppliers) for about �6
recently, and saw exactly the same set on sale in Maplin for nearer �10
a couple of weeks later).

However...  You'll probably find that an ordinary straight-bladed
screwdriver or small Allen key will do the job - a 3mm screwdriver is a
neat fit in the T-15 Torx fasteners that hold my Mac Plus together.
