I've always found that the small hardware shops (the ones that aren't a big chain of shops) seem to have all sorts of tools and parts you won't find in the big places.

Tri-wings are considered a "security" bit and are usually included in those deluxe sets of security bits at Harbor Freight and Sears. One thing for sure is you won't find it at Radio Shaft.
