The hardware shown is merely a an old, chewed up pos. It is more than obvious that something has been jammed into the fastener. I've played this game for a long time, and I have twisted wrenches for living just as long. It's pretty sad if someone cannot see that this fastener has been wallowed out, not machiened with the additonal slots. Then again, many people making comments have never even pulled out one of these fasteners let along done anything other than oil changes.

Sits deeper? It's a more shallow driving tool.


It's hard to see, but the one I posted is an exact fit; in fact, the drive will bite hard enough to hold the fastener. If a posi drive were insterted, it would fit just like the left fastner in the second set of photos

The point of the matter is that people are sent out to spend ten times the amount of replacment screws. The posi might give a better bite, but it will mangle the fastener if it's unmolested.

More important the the main reason for my comments: People are going to buy a tool that won't solve the problem. The problem is that the tension of the fastener exceeds the heads ability to hold up inder the required torque. It doesn't matter what type of tool you use when the drive on the fastener will fail befor the tension of the fastner will fail.

Eldon, seeing that it's a trend to follow googleers advice around here rather than that of which comes from real, not playing-a-game experaince. As a result, I doubt that you'll cancle your order. It's fine with me because it's your money.

Just make sure that you post the results after you get them out; also, post pictures of the fasteners because "they should still be quality parts after removing them; after all, you're spending $50 or whatever amount of money to remove a $5 set of screws.
In other words... laugh Buy the tool that matches your fastener. wink And with the excellent pictures above, anyone can tell what they have. I still haven't received my new fasteners from Ames. But when I do, I'll post an 'up to date' picture of what is available as a replacement.
