NAME THAT SCREW HEAD

[russelltatedotcom]

Hi, Does anybody know what kind of screwdriver undoes a screw like this from a VMC 56 vending machine
Also where I could possibly buy the screw driver from?

Thanks for any help

It is called a clutch head. Go to your local hardware store they will have one. I bought mine from sears. there are 2 or 3  sizes. I forget what size is needed for the 56. I know it isn't the smallest.

I think you are in Oz aren't you???

I know I had problems getting one over here in the UK.
Ifound one in a socket set I had but wasn't very good.

Creighton sent me one over from the US in the end.

I did find that most of my 56 screws came off with a flat head.

Worst case scenerio you can make one with an old crew driver buy grinding the shape you need until one is avail.

Thanks guys, Yes I do live in Australia and a clutch scewdriver is not something I've seen here. I have tried to undo a few with a flat head but I have a couple that are stubborn and I don't want to destroy the heads too much. Maybe I'll try and search out a clutch head Screwdriver (maybe ebay?)

LMK if you know of anywhere else I could try?

Thanks

With  hacksaw blade you can cut a slot across it, and remove it with a slotted screwdriver.

I've got several ground down flat heads that work.

I'm too lazy to buy a set...

Might be able to grab it with needle nose vice grips. Think it is size #5.
