Title: Tamper resistant screws
Post by: on July 19, 2002, 01:04:53 pm
Anybody know where to get a screwdriver or bit to remove the tamper resistant screws on a 60's vendorlator machine? kind of a rectangular hole with a slight  radius on the ends.

It's called a Clutch Bit and they come in different sizes.
Usually you can find these at a decent hardware store or possibly Home Depot/Lowes...

Jim's correct, you can find them at Sear's hardware too, I got my set (all three size's) at my local electrical suppier, say is anybody stocking these little buggers? (the clutch-head screw's) I've been using stainless steel philips to replace them for now, just hoping sombody still makes 'em, so if you know of any supplier please post them!!!

Both Jim & johnie are  right  I got my set at a True Value
hardware . Home Depot also has them and Ace has them.
