Brain fade. Can someone remind me what the type of screws you get in electronic kit are? Sort of a cross between a Posidrive and Allen key type head. Common on phones, 'puters etc.

I need to get a set of screwdrivers for them.

Ta.

Do you mean the Torx heads, they look like a six pointed star

Micro screws?

Apple used to use pentalobe screws on iPhones.

Yay! Them's 'em. Thank you.

Scrulox or Robertson's screw?

Not even 'French Recess'

(I just found the Wikipedia entry on 'List of Screw Drives'. There's squillions of 'em! But these are Torx. ).

A super-whizzy set of Torx drivers (from size 2 upwards) is winging its way here. Yay! More tools.

Thanx all.

Then you get the super-sneaky security torx screws that have a little pip in the centre so a normal Torx can't fit in. It's an arms race, I tell ye...

I've got a cartoon for that too!

They'd fit some of my metal and woodworking.
