Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled
(lemmy.world)
Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

iFixit sells kits like this that have every screw head imaginable. No need to get creative.
Edit: fixed link
Nice. Thanks for the link.
FYI: There is an "s" missing from the end of that url. https://www.ifixit.com/products/mako-driver-kit-64-precision-bits
Thanks, fixed
Hows the durability of their stuff? I've been intrigued.
I've had this kit for about two years and it's been excellent. I don't use it for much outside of electronics, which is not very taxing on these tools.
Awesome appreciate the insight! Next time I need something weird I'll grab a kit and chuck the rest of my amalgamation of random one-offs.
If you snap one, they will send you a replacement for free. I chipped one of the security torx once, and was surprised at how easy it was to get replaced.
thats whats up!
I have this kit and I remember seeing a similar head in there. Highly recommend it. I’ve used it a bunch.
Same, and I bought one over 6 years ago. Would buy again 11/10
