Need some good quality spline sockets for that, else you strip the splines..

Use your hacksaw and cut a line across the hole for the Allen key. Get a big flat screw driver in there or use your ratchet with the flat head

Get one of these, they have cheap ones at Midas and those places

and then use either the spline suggestion perhaps for the stripped ones. but you will have to clean them first and some Q20 or other non-sillicone lubricant would help too.
At worst cut a small slot with a grinder and loosen them with a chisel.

Another project I'm busy with. Any ideas how to put heavy duty low profile castor type wheels on this bookshelf. Its usually loaded to the top with wood.
I occasionally need access to the fibre / can PoE setup behind it - which becomes a crap ton of work.

Can't you purchase the fridge roller caster and put a timber skirt at the bottom to hide it.Another project I'm busy with. Any ideas how to put heavy duty low profile castor type wheels on this bookshelf. Its usually loaded to the top with wood.

Finished the vibracrete painting last weekend. Hung this not so square trelllis. Outside of kitchen almost acceptable... Just need planters.
That looks soooooo nice. Great idea hanging those trellises on the prefab.
Would you recommend those Keter sheds or are they a bit wobbly?
They're OK... Not the greatest build quality, think it's about two years old, most of the screws and hinges are rusting... But fortunately an easy fix.
Nice thing is - its light. One person can move it.
Thanks. Would get nutec if I could find a decent supplier/ installer, it's an awkward site.
I'd buy the shed again ... If thats a clearer answer
I have that exact shed, was here when I bought the place. All the screws are rusted, but it seems ok. The previous owner built a timber frame inside which makes it nice and sturdy.
I don't think I'd pay for this shed myself though, you can make something better yourself... if you're into that.

It's probably good value for the money. They look nice too.
