Well, Cooper Hand Tools is the primary company, and Xcelite is the tool line. Cooper's web page has the tool there, listed with full specs, which is a blade of almost 10" long, not including the handle in the measurement. That lists at less than $7, BUT... their minimum order is $30 or $35, so not an attractive price for one driver tool. Further looking showed a page of retailers sponsoring or carrying the Cooper/Xcelite tools, and Home Depot is right there on the list, so a call to the local store to ask the Customer Service rep to special order the T15 extra long blade Torx, and success! Something around $11, or so, including the store's retail sale markup. I'm happy. --russ
