What kind of screwdriver?
« on: June 10, 2021, 08:39:53 PM »
Whaaaat? You think JIS Phillips are bad?
10 of these on my coffee maker.
Where do you get a proper tool for this kind of stuff?
I got them out with my jewelers screwdriver but the blade got roughed up.

Those are Tri-Wing screws, interesting that they are used on a coffee maker. Usually see them on electronic stuff. You can pick up the screwdrivers on-line or in an electronic specialty shop.

 One more, smack the clutch head inventor guy too. In fairness though I've ruined more phillips/jis  than any other type.

  A Tri Wing, great that's all we need. Not bad enough when there's like ten different torx heads , some can be males and others that are female,  2 kinds of Phillips  in 3 sizes each, then there's slotted in at least 5 sizes ,and then there is square drive, Then theres only like a half a million Allen heads in Metric and SAE........ I run into most of these things in a single day when taking an old house apart but I only need half as many bits putting things back together. I bought a 6 x 4 box with almost fifty different bits for my screw guns and keep it in my truck at all times, you just never know what you'll run into in one house. This is an excellent example for the pissed off thread by the way. It's especially great if any of these fasteners are damaged and nothing short of a Cat's Paw or a Sawzall will disengage one piece form another. And who would think a 3 winged screw would be an improvement over a 4 winged Phillips screw ,and if that isn't enough ,why not make the screw out of aluminum so when it strips out at least it could be a little easier to run a drill bit through it.

 I especially love the 8 point torx found on my car trailer shin. It turns out to be rare and instead of locating one it usually unscrews with a square head.
