How do I open this specific model?

You need a 5.5mm or 7/32" hex driver, like this one: http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/33739/subcatid/0/id/105901

Just remember that it needs to be "thin-walled" to get in there.

Auto parts stores are your best bet.

can anyone find me a good ebay / amazon link for one of these screw drivers?

Or just go to your local Lowe's or Home Depot and get one from the hardware dept for about $3 or less.
(I can't even remember now, it was very inexpensive.  If you get the Kobalt one from Lowes P/N #0338157, it can be used as-is!  It works well!  No ratchet or driver needed!)

Just bought this one




How did I do?

Hard to say, it looks fairly thick at the head. If the terminal M is anything like the normal M, the bolt wells are quite narrow. I suppose you'll find out soon enough .

I bought this set from Amazon and it's perfect.

i accidentally had the wrong image. The one that was there before was one of the 3/16 one
