Dear All,
I'm trying to dissassemble electric teapot I bought some time ago at Target, out of 3 screws keeping the bottom of the device 1 is quite strange - screwdriver for it would look like double-toothed fork. What is a proper name for such a screwdriver/screw and where one can poissibly get it from?
thanks,
PK
Spanner drive, snake eyes screwdriver, similar to this?:
Yes, Sir, thanks a lot :-) Is there any story behind this type of driver - why are they so rare?
Like a standard screwdriver with a notch in the middle of the blade.
I've seen some strange ones like that. They're called "security screws". I got this
Just another tamper resistant screw. To keep you from doing what you are.

Looks like you could introduce a flat tip bit to a small cut off wheel and make one easily. Or maybe the screw slot could be finished in the center.
My nearby Harbor Freight has that set on sale for $4.99.....Paul
That looks like the insert that comes in that larger set, and contains the security bits. That'd be OK if you already have all the non-security ones.
And online they have them marked down to $2.99. I just got a set through Amazon, but I'm tempted to get a few from HF just for the carrying case.
[$7 shipping up to $14.99-- so if I got 4 I'd still be under $20 and not have to leave home. ]Jim
Could you please point me to particular webpage? I tried to search at their website, and cannot find it.
Thanks,
PK
Note the spelling of freight--- I see there is an opportunist at harborfrieght dot com.
