???? like a Hollow allan wrench? you're not talking about torx screws are you? Need more detail. Maybe draw us a picture or make us a map and cook brownies.

phantom u sure are a hungry mofo today arent u?

woodshop98 · 10-05-2004, 10:54 AM

he's talking about the security version. the screws/bolsts have an allen head with a little cylender inside them so you can't fit a regular allen wrench inside. i dunno exactly what they're called, but I got a cheap bit set with most of those security type heads from my local Ace hardware, although I've never seen them there before or since. any good tool store should have them. I got my dad a set from a local place outside Chicago that just sells tools.

i think i know what he means. its like a little socket, but shaped like an allen wrench. i got some of those in my tool set.

layinbody31 · 10-05-2004, 12:14 PM

they use those to attatch the doors and the stalls together in bathrooms. (I didn't bring a magazine the last time...)

Phantom · 10-05-2004, 12:16 PM

the only ones i've seen in bathrooms are the screws that you can only tighten, anybody seen those?? the head is shaped so you can only tighten in, there is no way to loosen it.

They're called "security screws".

Zq-8_dawg · 10-05-2004, 05:11 PM

TORX or anti tamper bits. BTW any of you ever heard of E12 and E10 sockets those are some weird fasteners.
