Security Screws

The type of screw shown is NOT intended to be removed and I doubt there is a removal tool that will work well. Some types are intended to be removed for repair BUT NOT by Joe public and special tools are available BUT NOT THIS TYPE ! Good luck and devious means. Noel.

Has anyone else yet spotted the irony…? 🙂

Dremel to start a divot and then a left hand drill bit will remove those screws.

But as SOD says, plugging an extension lead on the end of the existing lead has a lot of merit.

I normally use a Dremmel type tool with a small parallel bur to removed the anti-clockwise ramps, and then use a conventional screwdriver.
It’s a bit easier to see the screw head, now that I have a flexi drive and a dentists andge head drill.

Thanks Bill, that may be a possibility. As I mentioned earlier though, these are quite small screws.

Drill into the head and use a screw extractor or drill the head off, remove the top of unit and remove the remnant of screw with a mole grip. Noel.
