Handy Don 12,214 #2 Posted August 29, 2022 Don't know the specific name, but it looks like one of several "security" heads designed to keep people without special tools from messing with it! I recently bought a set of small driver bits to handle an array of these that i've encountered in small electrical/electronic devices. What is the diameter of that head?

No place for water to collect and a lot more "face" to handle tighten/loosen torque while better able to handle slight tool misalignment. Gotta look into these! Thanks, @cafoose 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
