Being regularly confronted with wretched special screws, there are all kinds of ways to get them out. The usual go-to tool is one designed to unscrew stripped screw heads.

Just the other day, I was confronted with a security screw that instead of having 4 flutes on it (Phillips head), it had 3. I just drilled it out.



Nothing worse than a screw you dont have a driver for. I resolved to just have drivers for everything

After going through several brands over the years, both domestic and foreign, that's the best set of driver bits that I have ever owned.

Kinda pricey, but well worth it.


No slotted Robertson :(
