September 11, 20251 yr Is it an anti-tamper screw? Difficult to see the head. What’s its intended use?

I guess they stop some people but they certainly don't stop me or I guess anyone interested in electronics/computers (as security screws are more common and so are the bit sets) they just make removing the screws more annoying.

Indeed. Although neither of my bit sets had a security bit that fitted them hence the need to drill them out. Oddly they had been used to secure the feet for a TV that I wanted to mount on my garage wall.
September 11, 20251 yr I have only just understood, or think I have. Its is a ramped head so that a bit engages in one direction but not in the other???
September 11, 20251 yr Well at least is was identified as a screw (threaded all the way to the head) and not a bolt. Edited September 11, 20251 yr by SteamyTea
