Any other methods for unscrewinng these things.
I know they are around but where. And when you ask some people shake there heads.

Well worth the money. Matt | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | Petmil,
I bought individual clutch head bits from McMaster-Carr. They are 'bits only' in 1/4".
These will fit right into a hand held hammer impact tool, and when you blast your striker plate screws with this setup, you get instant results....

Napa or Snap-On would be a better bet, True-Value might still carry tham too. That's where I got mine.

Usually come in sets of 3 or individually. Also available at most catalog sites like JimCarter, American Classic etc. If you can find them at a supply house a 3-set is usually around 15-18 usd. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 75 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 75 | you're talkin about those dumb star lookin screw heads right? best thing i found is allen wrenches, and vise versa.

Also, using allen head drivers in a torx screw is a sure way to strip it out. Using the correct tool is always the best way to do things.

It only has two clutch head bits, but as a variety set it has served me well around the house. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 262 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 262 | I got mine at swap meets and flea markets. Most people don't know what they are and you can get them for a little of nothing.

It was all I could afford. It was ~20 bucks. I needed it quickly, so I bought it. I'm going to shop a little more in advance and save money for the rest of the set.
