But to replace a screw just becasue you can't
be bothered to get the
right tool is not a useful or nexessary modification.
It is if the bother involved in getting "the right tool" is high
enough. :-)
I deisagree, but then again I have been known to _make_ the right tool
rather than mangle the device I am working on.
I, for example, would have no idea where to go to obtain a set of the
Bristol spline keys - unless possibly "ask Tony Duell to send me one
across the pond" counts. It's hard enough to find torxes, even.
Might I suggest a well-know search engine called 'google' Typing 'bristol
spline keys' (without the quotes) into that got a large number of hits,
many of which seemed to be companies who would sell such tools. Obviously
I've not tried any of them, but I can't believe nobody has them in stock.
Anyway, earlier in this thread I mentioned you could get them from Farnell.
