tamper proof phillips?

[wolf_from_wv]

What are tamper proof phillips screws used in?

 

[Bill Bowman]

Commercial bathroom stalls, etc. Most anything they don't want you to "tamper" with. Bill

Has this made it from paper/press releases to R/L yet?

 

[wolf_from_wv]

Has what made it?

tamper proof phillips?

or that they are used for things they don't want you to tamper with?

I'm trying to complete my insert bit collection.

I've only seen hex and torx in bathroom stalls.

I know they are used on outside trim pieces on later Ford Mustangs.

Someone asked me once, why I didn't just use a pin punch...

I think I'm going to need a bigger bank account...

Recently found lots of button head tamper proof machine screws on playground equipment we had to move to install a 48" drain line. i was likewho the hell is going to steal a slide? Then I realized they used them so no one would remove them and a kid got hurt. I actually had to buy a socket that fit all the hex heads. Now I own a whole set of them !!!!

Used in installing paper towel dispensewrs, soap dispensers and grab bars in Psychiatric departments. Can't back them out with a dime or toothbrush!

I have them holding my license plate onto my car.
The police stations here give them away.

I know this is about phillips, but I always wondered how do you remove these tamper proof flatheads

They can be screwed on, but not off with a flathead.

 

[metaldad]

I have had to remove a couple of these in my lifetime and I used a very thin dremel cutoff wheel (dremel wheel #420? if I remember correctly) to notch straight across the thickest part of the screw head. Cutting through the thickest part of the head allows for the greatest notch depth. Then I just use a flathead screwdriver like normal, and it has worked every time so far. That doesn't help if you need to be able to reuse the screws though. Luckily, up until now I haven't run into a situation where that type of screw was inset or hard to get to with the dremel.

Would an "EZ Out" work?

I think a tool was mentioned in that Instructables link.

 

[Rico.]

I suppose you could use a teeny tiny die grinder to remove the pin if you need to get
the screw out and reuse it. But if it's for commercial repair work I guess you just
have to buy the correct tool.
