Tamper-proof Screws Ellies products

[craigcul]

Good day does anyone know where I can get a driver bit for the Ellies product multi-plug adaptors As each time I have one go faulty I have to try drill out the screws and it never goes well.
Thanks from
Craig

Is it worth it vs just buying a new one?
What are you doing to them that you have this regularly?

I once bought an Ellies Clover Power cable for R20 on clearance. It had a R150+ Ellies surge protector plug on it with those screws. Thought I'd be smart and try to remove the plug and use it on another appliance.

I completely messed it up trying to remove those screws. They definitely didn't want customers to loosen those screws.

made of the finest chinesium to ensure the little ears break off on the first use

I broke 2 extensions with those double-sided plugs the other day. The kak plastic tabs where you plug in the plug won't budge.
Cut the plug adaptors off and put a double-sided rubber plug adaptor in their place.

Give this set a look: 115 piece multipurpose kit

It has some rare types of bits in that may come in handy for other types of screws that you may encounter as well.

All these bits and screwdriver extensions and crap will make no difference.

Those are very simple tamper free screws. There is NO tool out there that will turn them, due to basic design and physics.

The right-hand one could possibly work.

No it can't. All they've done is sand down the parts of the screw you would normally "push against" when turning in a anti-clockwise direction.

It is technically a "one-way" screw.



Extremely basic, but extremely effective.

Those screws are not like that. It's got a notch at about 120 degrees to each other, as can be seen in the photo below. Sorry for it being so blurry. This is one of the screws that I managed to get out.
