    I need tools to. Trying to fix my Dads wall fan heater and it has some stupid security screw.

    Yes I could buy a new one but he likes this one.

    Security screws? Must be some wall heater XD

    You can often hammer in a square drive bit to get them out. Just don't get too enthusiastic on the hammer side of things.

    I make more money cleaning up after adjustable spanners than ring and open enders in general because people generally use the ring
    end rather than the open end if they have a choice and have got half a clue.

    You can buy sets of these so-called 'security screw' bits fairly readily and cheaply. I think from memory I bought mine from Jaycar for around $10 (but my brain is like swiss cheese so I may be wrong). Try Mitre 10, Bunnings, Placemakers or wherever.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I hope you charge like a wounded bull for that, make it a lesson only needed once.

    It's a tester screw, if you ain't competent enough to get past it, you ain't competent enough to screw with what is inside

    Ohhh, I thought you meant this stupid little star things (like a phillips with an extra groove and different proportions).

    Yeah don't take a hammer and square bit to that, you need to melt that out.
