I am in need of an odd screwdriver, the screws have a rectangle male side on the top of screw so driver needs to have female side. These screws are on the vacuum wiper in a 55 chevy. Anyone seen these? Know where I can get one? Thanks, Bob
needle nose pliers work. Or get an old philips screwdriver, grind off the point, and cut a slot in it.
I made a socket to fit them. Use one of those tiny 1/4" drive 12 point sockets that don't fit anything, heat it, & squeeze it in the vise til it fits.
it's almost an inverse clutch head. But straight, not curved along the sides. pic stolen from the internets...
^^ to take that one step further; which will help keep the tangs from spreading out... ( assuming the distance across the screw head is not larger than the tubing or shaft OD ) After the notch is made, turn or find a short piece of tubing that fits closely over the area to reinforce it. Can be Loc-Tited or soldered on.
I stand corrected. I always thought those were pliers head screws....never knew there was a tool for them!
Squirrel so smart! Why didn't I think of that. I used small vice grips. Guess that's why squirrel gets the big bucks!
