[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 140081, member: 302"] Well Bill you surprise me, if you have access to a bench grinder buy yourself a decent brand screwdriver, preferably oversize, hollow grind the flats until the blade fits the slot precisely, then grind the blade overhang in slot to same angle as the countersunk screw, taking care when you are grinding never to overheat the blade, a jam pot filled with cold water with an ice cube in it helps here, I have kept my pilot clutch screwdriver for that use for a very long time, it is capable of doing the 9 screws up very tight, very quickly without slippage or damage to the screw heads, as I have said in a previous post, I have had to do this a few times, I have experimented with Allen headed screws, but soon reverted back to standard, the only types I might change to is Pozi or Torx, but as previously stated, they are not easy to come by, if available at all.
