HELP! Those IXO screws.
I know this was covered a while back, but where can I get that gizmo that can remove those blasted triangle indented screws found on Altaya and IXO models? Thanks.

I found mine on eBay but any Ixo dealer should have them available.

Joe H. Try diecast direct.

Many thanks, ordered from DiecastDirect.

BTW, IXO discontinued those screws.
The recent models I have all come with a regular Phillips screw.

Lara Tools sells a hex-tool for your electric screwdriver
Makes short work when they are really tight! I plan ongetting the really small size for taking the models apart, when I get through my current procrastination stage.
And yes, Albert, I too am glad they've given up on these.
Now I have to find a tool for the funny torx-like screw used by Norev......

Now what am I going to do with that confounded single purpose screwdriver!

WOW, 3 days since asking the question and getting it in the mail!
